I remember Walter Frattin from when I was a kid and he was as one of my Dads (Nick Parrottino) Favorite friends that use to go fishing with him. I remember (he was such a handsome man and looked like Lloyd Bridges to me ) and I was fascinated by the adventures he would tell my Dad about! I think he would sometimes show up on his motorcycle and stopped by the house often to chat with my Dad. He always made my Dad laugh and I was just so intrigued by the adventures and lifestyle this man had that seemed so different to me way back then. Funny how a person can make such an impression on you. But he was always smiling and laughing and seemed to enjoy life to the fullest! My condolences to his family and I hope that he still is smiling and laughing and meets up with my Dad in heaven.

My sincere condolences to the Frattin family. Walter was a legend and always will be. May his legacy of the ocean be an inspiration for future generations.

Our condolences go out to your family. What a great guy Walter is and who will be missed by many. It was always a pleasure to see Walter when he stopped by to see my Dad, Tom Sperling. My Dad always spoke of many fond memories with Walter whether it be at the beach, on the golf course or on the boardwalk, and what a gardener! Walter was a good friend. He will be missed.

Deepest Condolences, What a Life!

Walter, AKA “The Duke” was a classic. I have many memories of surfing with him and his boys going back to the 60’s, He was the original enforcer and kept all the young guys in line. It was always a pleasure to see him over the years either at the beach or the golf course. He will be missed. Our condolences go out to your family. Ed and B Mahon
