Walter served in the Army Air Corps in the European theater in WWII and received a bronze star. He was a lifelong ballroom dancer and entered many competitions with his wife, Helen. He was an avid reader, averaging about 3 books a week until his death. Walter loved to exercise. Up until a month before his death, he walked a mile a day and lifted weights at Planet Fitness 3 times a week.
