Walt proudly served in the US Navy on the USS John Hood during the Korean War.  Walt’s children and grandchildren enjoyed his tales of his travels throughout the ports of the Mediterranean.  Walt was an avid reader and enjoyed spending relaxing days on his couch with his stack of books. In his younger years, Walt enjoyed bowling with his brothers.  He bowled a 300, “back in the day, when the game was harder.” Walt also enjoyed golfing in many leagues in the area, and was proud when he had a hole in one at Ford Hill.  Walt was a parishioner at St. Johns-St. Andrews Church where he was a Eucharistic Minister. Above all, Walt cherished his family the most.
