He was an avid horseman and particularly fond of quarter horses. He spent many happy hours attending horse shows in his motor coach and was a member of Saddle and Sirloin and the American Quarter Horse Association.

Survivors include his son, Reid Walters (Dave Butterworth) of Kansas City; his daughter, Christy Stewart (R.G. and grandson Matthew) of Raymore, MO; step-son Chris Romine (Stacey and grandchildren Nick, Natalie and Grace) of Fayetteville, AR; his sister Anna Landon (Al and nephews Todd, Chad and Joel) of Conrow, TX; sister-in-law Cathy Combs (David) of Olathe, KS, and his long-time personal friend, Lee D.
