Dennis Walter Obituary

Dennis Frank Walter, Jr., 86, of Federalsburg, MD passed away unexpectedly on August 2, 2019. Fishing/crabbing were his life; his free time was spent on the water & he made a living making sinkers & crab nets by hand. He enjoyed bonding with his family by fishing & crabbing together. Dennis also loved watching TV shows about gold mining, crime investigations & oceanography. If you dared to watch Finding Nemo with him, he would talk over the movie, telling you all about the fish in the movie, based on his acquired knowledge of marine life. Dennis also enjoyed playing slot machines at the local casino ("ching ching" as he called it) & renting "tapes" (DVDs) at the library. Dennis is survived by his children Denise Stevens, Dennis, Wheels, Scott & Robert Walter, David Wolf (& their applicable spouses); his siblings Charles Walter & Mary Smith; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren & family/friends. To honor Dennis' request, there will not be a memorial service.

I have so much to share and say. I'll probably write several messages in this guestbook. First, I will love and miss you always. You, mom, and I always had such a great time togetherlots of laughing at inappropriate stuff. We even spent this past Monday and Tuesday laughing so hard, even when you weren't feeling well. You apparently stayed spunky and feisty to the end, according to your home care nurse. She told us about all of the jokes you were making two days before you died. She really enjoyed being with you, it seems. :) Second, I know you'd be mad that I spent money on an obituary for you. I had to honor you in that way. I couldn't let you go, forgotten. Like we had discussed, I was going to start sending you gift cards for groceries (I bought you some on Thursday!), so the money was going to be spent anyway. So, you'll have to deal. See, I'm stubborn, too. Last, for now, I wish we had more time together. I thought you'd be moving in with mom and Marty, and that Lilly, Joe, and I would be able to see you more. I'm sorry my visits slowed down when I became a mom. But I'm glad I got so many visits in before then. I love you, Pop Pop. Love, Turkey
