While he was still young, his family relocated to Bremerhaven, Germany not by their own will, but because of the war and dangers that it entailed. While attending high school, Walter was able to enroll in a trade school that provided him training as a machinist. He left Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1955 where he found work in a gold mine. He worked in a saw mill in Vancouver, BC, and even worked as a logger in Alaska. His work ethic was tremendous. In the early 1960's he immigrated to the USA to the Everett area of Washington. Around 1963 he was asked to help someone move, which he gladly obliged, it turned out that the woman he would assist in moving would be his future mother-in-law. He and Linda met that day and in 1965 married to spend the next 53 years enjoying life together. Walter and Linda moved to Marysville, WA; there he pursued a passion in automobile restoration and repairs. He loved to take an older vehicle and make it shine once again. He sold some of these vehicles but also kept many. He worked at Try Way Manufacturing, a subcontractor for Boeing and retired early at age 43. He and Linda did a lot of traveling, they enjoyed dancing and taking walks and visiting with friends and family.
