anything. His working hands were a big part of repairing the Cape Coral Yacht Club pier, the Rose Gardens

clients and friends. He loved any kind of festival as long as there was beer, food, music, family and
friends! Oktoberfest in the Cape being his favorite! Walter appreciated the outdoors and knew the
