They then resided with their daughter Sandra in Rockton, Illinois for the remainder of their lives. Walter was employed as a welder for the Beloit Corporation for 43 years until retiring in 1999. Walter was a lover of nature, hunting and fishing. He was an avid sports fan of baseball, football “Go Pack”, and NASCAR. All kids and dogs naturally flocked to him and he loved them all.

All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home at last.
