They lived in Kansas City, KS, Raytown, MO, Kansas City, MO and eventually retired to sunny Windermere, FL. Walter worked as an outside telephone repairman and inside switchman for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. He retired after 30+ years with the phone company.

Walter enjoyed life to its fullest. He loved to travel. He loved attending the soccer games of his grandsons as well as his grand nieces and nephews. When he did take a few moments to slow down, he was always ready to watch a good movie or his favorite TV shows. He loved to be outside and greet the neighbors with an intoxicating smile and a hearty hello to anyone that was out walking by. Photography was one of his passions in retirement. He was always chasing the perfect cloud formation, sunset, sunrise, or athletic grandsons.

Walter was preceded in death by his parents.
