He married Joyce Peterson on July 17, 1964 at St. Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church. He was a proud member of NFO (National Farmers Organization).
Walter loved a good bargain and was always on the lookout for a good deal. He also enjoyed a good game of checkers according to his rules, an afternoon nap and a bowl of ice cream. He will be remembered for his love of family, farming and generous nature.
Walter is survived by his children, Karen Preusser of Albertville, Renee Thorson-Vanek of Savage, Robert (Dianne) of Dassel, Mike (Michele) of Nowthen, Tom (Kim) of Luxemburg, Bill (Molly) of Luxemburg, Beth (John) Davenport of St.Cloud; former spouse; Joyce White; 14 grandchildren, Dustin (Megan), Samantha (Matt), Cari, Sarah (Jayson), Miranda (Jason), Ashley (Zach), Aaron (Emily), Sean, Spencer, Sawyer, Brady, Rylee, Christopher, Caiden; ten great grandchildren; brother, Br. Lawrence of New York; sisters, Rita (Jerome) Kettner of St. Augusta and Irene (Rob) Warfield of Texas; sister-in-law, Diane Kenning of St.Augusta.
He is preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Joseph.
A heartfelt thank you to the staff of Heritage House/Savanna Prairie and Moments Hospice for their compassionate care.
