I just found out about Dr. Walls, I worked for him about 20 years ago. He was the most caring doctor I have known. I of course, chose him to be my pediatrician for my 4 children. I will never forget his kindness and how good he was with all his patients and parents. He will be very missed.

I was crushed when I heard the news (still am). Dr. Walls was our first and only pediatrician. Such a wonderful doctor and person. I was about to cry one time in his office with my first baby. We had latching issues that took weeks to resolve. I was distressed and exhausted. Dr. Walls reassured me and made me feel/know it was all going to be ok. I felt so much love for him in that moment.

In less than a year of regular visits with our baby Anton, we've come to look forward to seeing Dr Walls, to hear his "hey bud", and gentle, competent words of experience, caring, spirited, wise, reassuring to us new parents and to a brand new human. We had our one year visit today and we miss him greatly. In a short few visits, Dr Walls made an indelible impact. We are forever grateful

It's still hard to believe. We will miss Dr. Walls so much. He took such great care of my boys. He would tell me stories of when his boys were little, and give me advice about raising boys. He greeted my boys with "hey champ!" or "hey squirt!" They loved "the doctor with the white hair." :) I hope his family finds comfort knowing how much he meant to the community.

Dr.Walls, I just saw you the day before you passed with both of my children. There was a mixup with our appointment and we were well into your lunch hour. You took us in anyway with your bright smile. After our appointment, I saw you walking down the street with a big smile on your face. I remember thinking, Wow, what a nice sweet man, and look how happy it is. We miss you,

I can remember when Dr. Walls joined Dr. Penario's practice 31 years ago. After his retirement he cared for our 3 daughters, and then our grandsons. I also had the privilege our working with him at Scripps Hospital nursery. He was so kind and reassuring to the new parents. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. Our deepest sympathy to your family.

Dr. Walls will be forever in our lives through all the amazing words he always had for us. My 3 kids Milla, Matthew and Giselle couldn't wait to see him! My daughter is 11 and saw him 2 weeks ago to hear the comforting words that were only growing pains. God took one of his Angels from us and He was waiting with open arms!

Dr. Walls will be sadly missed but never forgotten. He was my daughters doctor since birth, he would always make time to see her if she was sick and he always had kind words to say to both of us. As a new Mom I had alot of questions he took the time to answer them all, and he always assured me I was doing a great job. My condolences to his entire family.

Our family loved Dr. Walls. His comforting presence was such a blessing over the years. I remember the day my son was born and his visit at my bedside. In the years that followed, his calmness reassured me many, many times. I loved how he called me "Mom" and had his special brand of wisdom to share. I will miss him terribly. A great man.

Hearing this news saddens me deeply. Dr Walls was an amazing pediatrician to not only myself but to my kids. He always made me feel confident with my job as a mother and my kids were always excited to see him. He made an impact of our lives and my family will always remember what an amazing person he was. He will be dearly missed.

As a mother of two of Dr. Walls patients, I always left his office with more wisdom and comfort than when I entered. When my daughter Alexandra was 13 and my son David 4, my husband passed away. Dr. Walls wrote the most beautiful letter to our family that we still cherish. May all who love him be as comforted as he left us.

Dr. Walls was an incredible physician and mentor to the kids he treated (including our son) and his passing will leave a lasting hole in our community. He was a ray of sunshine no matter the reason for our visit to his office - a kind, compassionate, giving professional. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our hearts go out to his family, staff and friends.

Dr. Walls was the most kind and caring doctor I've ever met. He loved what he did and and it showed. Always reassuring a worried mom, dad or child. All three of my boys (who are now almost grown) had the privilege of having Dr Walls in their lives. What a beautiful human being, he will be forever in our hearts. With deepest, heartfelt condolences to his family and staff.

My heart is breaking over the loss of Dr. Walls. My three children just adored him just as much as my husband and I. He truly was an amazing man and an incredible doctor, who treated his patients as if they were his own. My sincerest condolences to his wife, children and entire family. Please take comfort in knowing that he was loved by many and will be forever missed.

I can still see Dr. Walls standing in my recovery room after my son was delivered---coffee cup in hand, saying "I think its a keeper." I had no family in town when Casey was a baby, but every time I took Casey in, Dr. Walls would say 'Keep up the good work, mom" and that helped me so much. He was such a kind, gentle, bright spirit in our lives and we will miss him.

Our family will miss him, one of the best doctors we had the honor to meet, dearly...

Dr. Walls was an amazing pediatrician and exceptional human being. He had a way of making little ones feel at ease with just his presence. He routinely went above and beyond the call of duty. He helped our family through many crisis not all them medical. When I told my children last night they cried. Not often does one man make such an impression on so many. Dr. W you will be missed!

I sit here in disbelief! How could this be? I brought my son in for an appointment with Dr. Walls this morning, only to learn of this tragic and sad news. Dr.Walls was the pediatrician of my 3 children, since birth and are now 27, 23 and 15. My son is quite upset, remembering conversations they have had previously. He was a mentor to my son, an AMAZING and CARING and LOVING person.

My son Skye Neuharth was his last appointment as he stayed again for one last child to help last Friday evening as he would do for so many years. Dr Walls has been helping my son for 20 years. He was also the doctor to my twins Forrest and Hunter. What a wonderful man who did so much for so many. Our hearts go out to Dr Walls family, an extraordinary loss of an extraordinary man.

I didn't want to believe this was true. What a colossal loss. Such a great man. He was my pediatrician when I was a kid and he became my son's pediatrician when he was born. I just saw him! He was so great to deal with. He just had this special way of conveying information that was highly reassuring. Walking encyclopedia. You'll be truly missed Dr. Walls. My deep condolences to Walls fam.

My heart breaks for the loss of such an amazing doctor thy had such a huge impact on my life. I saw him from an infant till he told me at age 21 I needed to find another doctor. Every time I saw him when I wasn't feeling well. Just the sound of his voice made things seem better. I can still close my eyes and hear his sweet reassuring voice. My heart and thoughts are with all loved him!

Dr.Walls was an amazing man, amazing boss and pediatrician. I had the honor to work in his office for 2 years and there was never a time that he wouldn't ask me how my day was going or about my daughter who was a patient of his. Never once turned staff away who needed a second of his time. He always made the staff feel important and we were doing a great job. We'll miss you greatly!

Riveting blue eyes peered into diminutive ears, then at level with the child, gently declared, “Perfect.”  The result:  Grins abound in the once cartooned, now brilliantly colored exam room.  Yes, a healer, but also a parenting coach.  His encouraging “Keep doing what you’re doing,” made ordinary parenting feel like you exceeded goal.  “Good job, Champ” with knuckle bumps made boys cool, while “Well hello there Princess” always elicited a shy blush.  Recently he recounted a trip to Disneyland where he was humbled by the number of patrons who recognized and called out to him.  He was both respected and adored.  Thank you to the Walls family for sharing this wonderful, beautiful man with us.  We and our children are all better in every way because we knew him.
