His favourite lakes included Hough, Kerwin, McGovern, Robertson and Turkey. He previously owned a camp on Sand Bay in Goulais. Calling Walter a coureur de bois brought a smile to his face.

Many thanks to his friend Jerry 'Jake' DeRosario and Sault Area Hospital 3A staff for their help and care of Walter.
