“I can only say for my part that I feel a great sense of loss for losing him, but most of all, for not having the opportunity to have known him longer or having met him earlier in my life. I can remember clearly the first time that I met Walter Capps. We were at one of our freshmen orientations. He came down and sat down next to me, like he would sit down to talk to others, and he looked at me and he said, ``You are that Border Patrol guy, aren't you?'' Walter Capps was unique. I did not know quite how to respond to him. Except, he spoke to me at length, and later I had the distinct feeling that I had just been through an interview in a very friendly and charming sort of way. Walter Capps was a humble and gentle man. He was patient. He had a sense of humor. Many times in this hall, I wound up sitting next to him and we would trade witty remarks, and he would look at me and smile with a twinkle in his eye and say, ``You know, you are pretty good at this stuff.'' And he was not so bad himself.”
