Walter was born in Nipawin, Saskatchewan on June 22, 1936 to Phillip and Pauline Rommel. He worked in the lumber industry most of his life, retiring in Prince George, BC, and then moving to Mackenzie in 2010. He married his wife Sonja in 1958 and raised four children along with multiple foster children. He was very easygoing and liked to sit and chat with anyone who walked by while he was out in the yard or just sitting in his driveway. He will be greatly missed by everyone.
Walter is survived by his daughter Cary (Dave), sons Kelly and Kelvin (Cathy), foster sons Brian (Caitlyn) and Barry, sisters Vivian and Annabelle and brothers Johnny and Raymond, 10 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
Walter was predeceased by his wife Sonja, daughter Debbie, grandson Andrew, sister Barbara, and foster daughter Toni.
