Wally enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, and caring for his yard. He was an avid collector of guns, coins, and antiques and was always eager to share stories about his collections and adventures. In retirement, he enjoyed gold panning and was a member of the Sturgis Gold Mining Club.

A dedicated member of his community, Wally served with the volunteer fire department and ambulance service, was involved with the Saddle Club, Booster Club, and served as a Killdeer City Commissioner. He was also a member of the Elks, Pheasants Forever and the National Rifleman Association.
