Walter was a mason by trade. It was a trade he used to start Walt's Construction in 1982. A company that his oldest son continues today. In 1987, Walter began Jim's Auto Parts with his son Jim. A business Walter operated in Monroe County for 30 years. Delores and all three kids participated in this business with Walter. He was a member of the Rock Camp Baptist Church.
