In his free time, Walt loved to go golfing every weekend with his best friend Tom. If the back 9 were covered with snow they would play the front 9 twice! They also loved to bowl and participated in many leagues over the years, bringing home many trophies. Walt also enjoyed going to the stock car races, especially when his nephew Chuck Flesch was racing ~he drove number 28.
Walt could also be seen at the casinos. Years ago, he and his wife Regina would go to Atlantic City and in recent years enjoyed frequenting Parx Casino.

(Martini) Bowker; his sister, Marge Struble and her husband, Jim; his niece and nephews, David and Terri Flesch, and Robert Flesch; his great nieces and nephews; his great-great nieces and nephews; his many cousins; and his many dear friends.
