I knew about some of this, and ran into the bad Walter once or twice during my radio career, but I will always remember him for his football greatness. He made it a pleasure to watch the Bears during some very dark years.
Despite his less than attractive side, he also had a great sense of humor, and a big heart. I ran into the good Walter a few times at charity events. I also fondly recall the time he appeared on the John Landecker show.
