He married his sweetheart and eternal companion, Florence, for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on October 16, 1946.

Walter loved people and was able to convey that love in a way that made each person feel valued and special. He was an incredibly hard worker. His entire life he labored with his hands to bless the life of his family.
