Wally´s service was remarkable. His faith, family, friends, ranching, and life are an amazing legacy. The service reminded us of the hope we have because of Jesus Christ.

Wally Patcheck was such a gracious man. I'M Larry Haddon from previous owner of the Siesta Motel. The kindness he showed when I asked him if I could take my young children to his beautiful property to teach them how to hunt he said let him know know when. We were always welcome by Wally and his family. To the Patcheck family's our deepest prayers are with all of you. R.I.P. Wally
