Walt graduated from Topeka High School in 1959. He married Nancy Staerkel on August 27, 1960.
Walt worked for many years at Standard-Hart printing in Topeka as a pressman. He later was employed as a production foreman for M & W Gear/Grazer Mowers in Maple Hill and finished out his work life as the owner of AAA Pawn and Gun Shop in Topeka. He was an avid coyote hunter who made many friends over the course of his life. His other interests included gun collecting and World War II history.
He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, William Scheck, Vincent Scheck, Andy Scheck, and Gerald Scheck, three sisters, Edna Dye, Clarice Perry, and Kathleen Halstead as well as his cherished grandson Matthew Figgs.
Survivors include his wife, Nancy Scheck, children Julie (Glen) Yancey, Jamie (George) Welch, and Jason Scheck as well as a brother, Frank Scheck and sisters Lillian Kennedy and Carol McGinnis.
Cremation has occurred. A visitation followed by a dinner for family will be held at Wanamaker Woods Church of the Nazarene at 4:00 pm on Friday, August 8. In honor of Walt's wishes, no formal funeral service will be held.
