Walter worked in the Flin Flon mines and later moved to Winnipeg, where he worked at Christie Biscuits for 37 years. Walter had a great love for the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and hunter. He took great pride in his gardening and enjoyed making wine from the grapes that he grew from seed. Great times were spent with his friends over coffee.
