He had a very strong work ethic and would often work late to get the job done. He always made sure the job was done to the best of his ability because "if you're going to do something, do it right the first time" he always said. Walter loved being outdoors, be it mule deer hunting at Rockglen or moose hunting with Anthony at Meadow Lake. He would often go for walks in the hills at Rockglen. He loved the peace and tranquility he felt when he was there. He enjoyed helping at the ranch during round up. It was commented during branding that"whatever he lacked in skill he made up for with enthusiasm". He was generous to a fault and would lend a hand to whoever needed his help and if he had something you needed he would give it to you. He is and will always be sorely missed.
