Sincerest condolences to Walter's family. Very shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. Walter was very helpful to me as a relatively new member at WRPA. Always enjoyed his participation at the Thursday night trap shoot and around the members table at the club. He will be missed. - Posted by: Garry Winch (Friend at WRPA) on: Dec 17, 2022

I only knew Walter in camp. He was a kind kid - once he tried to splash me with a plate when we were washing dishes and it slipped and I ended up with a few stitches. He felt terrible. Not a mean bone in his body. Sorry to hear the news. I think of him often when I look in the mirror. - Posted by: Alex Hantel (Camp friend) on: Dec 06, 2022

Walter was a very kind man and a good friend. We will always remember mushroom picking with Walter and Elly in the woods one fall day. We met Walter through our mutual interests in leather crafting where we had many lively discussions about just about everything you could think of. He will be missed! - Posted by: David & Petra Johnson (Friends) on: Dec 06, 2022
