His favorite childhood memories were spending summers at his uncle’s farm in Mt. Olive, Illinois with his sister Mary. On the farm, he fell in love with animals that carried through his adulthood by filling the house with pets from exotic birds to domestic cats and dogs. The loss of his Father at a young age made him want to be more involved in the lives of his children. Professionally, Walter had a successful and robust career in the auto industry working his way up to Lead Prototype Designer working with clay models. He was an avid traveler who saw the world and loved taking river cruises through Europe. In retirement, being a Florida Snowbird was his favorite hobby. Every morning started with a round of golf or a quick shuffleboard match with friends. Walter loved the game Jeopardy, every night you could find him sitting in his recliner in front of the TV rattling off trivia answers to Alex Trebek – martini in hand.
