“He helped many people, even kids," McKenna explained.
She and her mom said that after hearing the news they felt holding the sale was the right thing to do.
"She wanted to give him some money," McKenna's mother said. "I'm a broke single mom, so I didn't have any to give them myself, but we had a lot of stuff. And she decided that that was what she was going to do, she was going to clean out her playroom and have this yard sale and whatever she could get was going directly to the family."
Walter is survived by his a wife and three children.
