He enjoyed his coffee, going out to eat, baking and cooking. He also enjoyed gardening and was an avid "plant" enthusiast. He especially loved spending quality time with his family and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

So sorry to hear the sad news, condolences to all the family. I grew up on Lori Lane and knew Walter, it was such a great place to grow up and I will remember Walter fondly.
Thank you God for Walter’s life. May his family and friends know your comfort and peace.
Sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to all of you. May you all find comfort and peace in the ARMS of Almighty during these trying times. May your all cherish and remember beautiful memories in your hearts. God Bless.
Walter was one of many childhood friends who grew up on Lori Lane. Walter was certainly a fine young man bestowed with exceptional athleticism, looks, and a good heart. Was one of the first kids to be picked in any pickup football game! My family thought, and still thinks, the world of him. To his family and children, look up and smile ….. Walter is smiling back! God Bless you all. Phil Ayer (Alaska)
I have know Walter for most of my life, he was always kind and loving. I am sorry for your loss and love you all.
We’ve known Walter for a long time, sharing a wedding, family gatherings, graduations, etc. There was never a time he didn’t have a smile and a handshake when we saw him. You will be missed, but you are now looking at your family in heaven, and down at your family on earth.
