Walter was born on August 11, 1935 in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. He moved to Winnipeg as a young child and resided in St. James; graduating from St. James Collegiate. Following graduation, he worked for United Grain Growers and Genser's Furniture, prior to joining Sears Canada; where over a span of 29 years he held numerous managerial positions and retired in 1993 as store manager (Kildonan Place). In his retirement he was a co-founder of the Sears Retirees Club of Manitoba and served as the Manitoba representative to the National Sears Retirees Group. During his lifetime, Walter enjoyed many travels abroad with family and friends.
