Walter Herman Berth, Jr, known fondly as "Wally" to those who knew him, was born October 14th, 1960 to Walter Berth Sr. and Gloria Berth in West Bend, Wisconsin. From the beginning, Wally was a force of nature and headstrong. His love for those close to him was relentless.
Wally was known for his strong will and stubbornness but had a loving spirit and a big heart. He was an avid outdoor enthusiast and enjoyed his time the most when he was deer and bird hunting with friends and family. He put the Wally in the jack of all trades. He had a knack for cooking, meat processing and fixing anything with an engine.
His legacy lives on in the memories he created and the love he shared Enjoying many years with Linda and friends at his cabin located in Selkirk, Manitoba in Canada Walleye fishing on the Red River. Spending time with his grandson Tyler building pinewood derby cars in Boy Scouts and teaching him everything including how to hunt. Raising and training Labrador Retrievers on the family property at Glor Loral Kennels located in West Bend, Wisconsin and many more memories.
"When I see those mallards fluttering from the heavens into my decoys, I'll know you sent them. My dog will be steady and I'll wait for the call. I promise I won't miss. May the ducks be in the thousands and big bucks behind every tree. Save me a good spot in the cattails".
He is survived by his mother Gloria Berth, his beloved girlfriend of 33 years Linda Nordby, his siblings David Berth, Robyn Berth Scheider (Scott), Sheila Berth, his daughter Laurel Lawrence (Curtis), granddaughter Aysia Lawrence, grandson Tyler Nordby (Paige), nephews David Berth (Jordan), Dylan Berth (Marianna), Harry Schneider and niece Sophie Schneider.
