I grew up in Paw Paw in the 60's and 70's and have lots of fond memories of "Wally" at the Crystal Flash. He always provided friendly service to our family. I remember that he would always speak to my brother and I while he was filling our car with gas,washing the windows and checking the oil. He made us feel like he was glad to see 'us'.
