A man of many talents, Walt was a skilled mechanic, an avid boater, and a passionate fisherman and hunter who found solace on the water and in nature. His storytelling captivated friends and family, weaving tales that brought laughter and wonder. Whether on the golf course, at the pool table, or on the slalom ski, Walt’s competitive spirit and love for games shone brightly. His industrious nature and thoughtful approach to life made him a problem-solver and a helper to all who needed him.
