We received word today that Wally Opdycke passed away after a long illness.  Wally and Nicola were early members at Hualalai.  He was a very active golfer and was a Founding Member of the Bandits.  Many of you will remember him walking his dog all over the property.  Wally was our next-door neighbor for nine years in Bellevue, Washington when he was the CEO of St. Michelle Winery and  when we arrived at Hualalai we received an email from Wally saying “Welcome, it’s nice to have you as a neighbor again.”  He leaves his daughter, Linda and his son, Tom (and his family) as well as Nicola.
