Rare Host Anne Posted April 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It is with a very heavy heart that I'm posting to let our community know that Host Walt has passed away. I've worked with Walt to monitor the Celebrity boards here on Cruise Critic for nearly 20 years. He was such a good caretaker of our Cruise Critic community. He and his wife loved to cruise, flowers and gardening and tennis (Roger Federer in particular). It seems surreal at the moment. I truly enjoyed sharing the duties of "host" with Walt over the years. He was a gentleman and a friend. We will miss him greatly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
