Walter worked for Houston Lighting and Power (Centerpoint Energy) retiring after 32 years. He was an avid sports fan and could be found always watching baseball and football. He could tell you the top players on any NFL or MLB teams, which brackets they were in, and usually pick the winning team. As well, he knew every Ball High football player that went pro due to his Ball High pride. Walter enjoyed college sports and was a huge Texas Longhorns fan. He played first base and was scouted by Major League Baseball teams while he was in high school for a position on a farm team. He also coached both his daughters’ softball teams and is fondly remembered by all of the girls and coaches associated with him during those years.
