His strong work ethic and commitment to his career earned him the respect of both colleagues and customers. He showed a passion for his work, beginning in the electrical business at an early age.

In his spare time, Walter found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved golfing and fishing, and he was a devoted sports fan; enjoying football, basketball, and baseball. He also attended basketball games with his son, Michael; and car races with his daughter, Michele. The enthusiasm he shared about his favorite race car driver, the late Dale Earnhardt, was evident in the display of memorabilia he collected. He appreciated the excitement and competition of racing.
