Walter was a devoted member of Notre Dame Catholic Church where he served as an usher for many years.

He had a very sharp memory and loved to tell stories of his childhood and growing up. He also enjoyed hunting and making sausage with his family yearly. \r\n\r\nWalter was a very devout man. Even towards the end of his life, he continued to be an example of a man of God, praying the rosary daily and urging his family to continue to pray and deepen their faith after he passed. \r\n\r\n "Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace."\r\n\r\n Rosary will be at 6 p.m. Monday, November 28, 2016, at Grimes Funeral Chapel.
