Church, education, sports, and hard work have been the foundations of his life. His mother, a single parent, instilled the values of faith, responsibility, respect for others, and giving an honest effort in all things. Walter honors her by staying true to those values. Having been mentored for over 50 years by the late Rev. Dr. E. W. Palmer has both prepared and inspired Walter to support the efforts of Real Champions, Inc.
Walter and his wife Anita will rejoice in their 33rd anniversary this year. They have three children and two grandkids. There is nothing more important to him than his relationships with God and his family.
