Patricia and Walter loved and bickered for almost 57 years of marriage, and loved every bit of it. He was known as grandpa Walt to all the Northwest United Methodist Day Care children; and to all his great grandkids, he was known as grampie. He was an all around good guy who was loved by all. His family wishes to thank all the staff at Millers Merry Manor in New Carlisle for all their loving care during Walters stay with them.
