He enjoyed driving his Mack, Peterbilt, and his Yuke dump truck. You could have found Walter behind the wheel at the American Asphalt Quarry or at the Benton Foundry. This man was indestructible like the Terminator. Even after a life changing accident and a few new metal body parts, Walter was back at it. You could find him rolling through the hills in Sweet Valley on his Harley enjoying a ride. He was a spiritual man that embraced his culture and respected his native pow wow gatherings. At his core, Walter was a loving brother, father and grandfather to his family. He did what he could for everyone.
