Walt, as he was affectionately known, was a farmer until he retired because of failing health in 1960. He lived his entire life in the Hopkins community, the family home being three miles north of Hopkins in Taylor County, Iowa. Walt took much pride in all that he did and never seemed to be too busy to help a friend or neighbor in need, living the "golden rule" of honesty and sincerity to the fullest.
