However, Walt was most proud of attaining the rank of 4th Degree of the Knights of Columbus and enjoyed working with them immensely. Above all, Walt loved his family dearly and will be greatly missed. Walt is survived by his wife, Marcyle; children, Peter Voigt and Melinda Voigt; siblings, Jim (Kay) Voigt and Ann (Gary) Silvers; and many nieces and nephews.
