He valued all his jobs over the years but especially enjoyed his years working at Good Year and the chicken business at LaPoulet Farm. Wally was very involved in his community; he was a Boy Scout Leader and was very devoted to his Church. He was a “Mr. Fix It” and enjoyed wood working “bird houses”, working with and making many things with macrame, as well as many other projects. He particularly liked to take aluminum lawn chairs and turn them into something beautiful. He was easy going, made friends with all he met, and will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
