Walter spent most of his free time gardening. He loved to garden and watch what he planted grow. Walter was an avid reader, he always had a book nearby. Action and thriller genres were his favorite. Some would say he had a real thirst for knowledge and gained any information he could. He had a very special place in his heart for his cat "Baby". He loved his family dearly and Walter will be deeply missed.
He is preceded in death by his late wife Jane Bouse and son Michael Bouse and daughter Marie Bouse.
He is survived by his daughter Donna Smith and husband Robert, son Steven Bouse and wife Rosie, grandchildren Andy, Brandon, Eric, Jeffrey and Jessica and all of his great grandchildren and brother Ronald Bouse.
