Walt served as department head for Agency Marketing Group's Human Resource Department from 1986 to 1989. From 1989 to 1990 he served as head of Agency Operations Service Support for over 40 Personal Lines and Commercial Lines Service Centers throughout the U.S. Walt served on the South Regional YMCA Board of Managers.

Walt made friends with everyone he met and his thoughtfulness and humor will never be forgotten. His last message was "Enjoy life, respect others, and I'll see you later." Or, as he said to his children every night for many years, "Until we meet again!"
