Albert Walter (Wally) Bush, age 57, passed away on Friday, October 15, 2010, in Redmond, Washington. Wally was born February 27, 1953, in Malad City, ID of Dorothy and Albert Edward Bush.
Wally had a heart of gold. Over the years he has spread joy, smiles, and laughter in the states he has lived including Idaho, Texas, and Washington. His kind spirit made everyone open their arms and welcome him into their family. He was the "go-to" man for knowledge on politics, references, local histories of places he lived, business, and everyday "fix it" problems. He loved to get into deep conversations about all of these topics with the people he cared about.
Family was the most beloved part of his life. He was a loving son, brother, father, and grandfather. Always on the phone, he kept all family members connected and updated on each other. He loved time on the farm, river rafting, taking his children and grandchildren to Woodland Park Zoo, drinking his raspberry mochas, watching old westerns, going to Mariners baseball games, and going out to eat at his favorite restaurants. He exposed people to sushi at Nara's Japanese Restaurant years before sushi became a trend. The ocean brought much joy to his life, which he shared with his children in Long Beach, WA.
Wally joins his brother-in-law, Tom Murphy, and other family members in heaven. He leaves behind his sister, Irene Murphy, and his brothers, John (Pam) and Grant (Barbara) Bush. Also, he will be missed by his children Ted (Jenny), Christi (Mike), Morgan, and grandchildren Michaelah, Joshua, Juniper, and Dylan.
Anything similar.

i know you guys will miss him every much.
What a shock it was to receive Michael's call that Wally, our fantastic "window wizard" has passed away. We always looked forward to his "visits" - he brightened up our view of the world in more way than one! Wally was a wonderful man - so proud of his family, and so interested in others. God bless you all.
We always looked forward to Wally coming on "window" day. He brought with him a smile, an infectious laugh, and a new recommendation for a restaurant we should try. He was a very special person and will be greatly missed, not only by us, but everyone here in Trilogy.
Sending love to Morgan Elizabeth, and the rest of Wally's family. He was a kind hearted man, and I am thankful for all his support of my dearest friend. You were one of the great ones, Wally.
Sending love and peace to Morgan Elizabeth, our little "sister" and friend in the film community, and her family. I know you are all suffering a great loss. My heart is with you.
Always going to remember the wonderful times I had growing up with Morg and going to visit Wally in Redmond. All my thoughts and prayers to the whole family!
I cannot imagine the pain your family is feeling and my heart goes out to all of them. Morgan Elizabeth is a great woman and has learned so much from you about life. Thank you for being the dad you were.
I never knew Albert but I do know he brought a very special person into the world. Morgan Elizabeth is a wonderful artist and friend to many. My condolences to all of your famiily at this difficult time.
I believe Wally will always be remembered with the smile he always wore. He had a heart of gold and it was easy to feel. I never knew Wally growing up. I had the pleasure of meeting him while servicing his vehicles and finding out we were related! He will be truly missed by me and all of us who knew Wally at Redmond Tire Factory.
Wally was always a special person - a mentor & friend for many years. Starting at Godfathers all those years ago. He will be dearly missed by all whose lives he has touched.
Know that if there is anything I can do for you "kids", I am here for you. I know the gap you are missing in the special person you called dad.
(((Hugs)))
