Sorry to hear about his passing - always enjoyed meeting Walt and his wife Dot (time to read 'All-American Boys' again). |

This is a sad day. I am glad that I was able to do many great projects with him. He was always very easy to work with and we both always enjoyed it very much. I have fond memories of when we celebrated Walt's 90th birthday at a big party in Houston in March 2022. One of my best photos with Walt is in my LRV. Walt will live on in my exhibition "Apollo and Beyond". RIP Walt |

Another Apollo legend no longer with us. Walt Cunningham was one of the first astronauts that I got to know and work with. Very much down to earth, always a "straight shooter," and I will miss him dearly. Our hearts go out to Dot and his family. |

I always thought he deserved another mission. Kinda got a bum rap. |

I had the great pleasure of meeting Walt on numerous occasions, though none as memorable as when I interviewed him for the Apollo 7 50th anniversary in 2018.Here's my Tribute to Walt. Ad astra Walt! |
