Wally enjoyed his grandchildren as they grew up and keeping up on news of them as they were grown. He welcomed visits from all the grandchildren and his grand dogs.  He liked to brag about all of them.

Wally was a long time member of the Springwater Church of the Nazarene  making  many friends there.  He enjoyed volunteering  at Vacation Bible School, as treasurer and in other capacities.  He volunteered many summers to help maintain the Brooktondale Church Camp.  He was involved with the Men's Ministry and traveled on missions trips to Nova  Scotia & Guatemala.  Wally always looked forward to fun & fellowship at the annual Laymans Retreat in  the Adirondack.

A long time interest of  Wally’s was learning how to operate computers. He started learning nearly 40 years ago on a Radio Shack computer.   He took different classes over the years to keep up on changes as he upgraded his personal computers & helped others learn.

In his active years Wally was part of a hunting camp in the Birdsall area. He spent a few summers exploring different areas while geo caching. He participated in the family vegetable garden by tilling with his John Deere tractor and designing several watering systems. 

Reading & Television watching were Wally's  favorite entertainment.  His favorite program was MASH.

Wally appreciated good food and trying out different recipes in the crockpot.  He was also good at searching out recipes on line that looked good to him for someone else to cook.

Thank You to all who gave support to Wally & Carol during the past 2 1/2 years of his health problems.  Special Thank You to devoted brother Reggie Page for all the time & attention he gave to Wally.
