Walter was an Honorable WWII Veteran, retired police officer and former Marshal of Beaver, Ark., for 30+ years. He was an amazing husband to Muriel (Pearson) Michalowski for 64 years, the one and only true love of his life, and the proud father of daughters, Carol (Kalins), Marilyn (Meindl), and Victoria (Fausnaught). He was extremely close to and proud of son-in-law Marty Fausnaught, his primary caregiver for the past six years, and will be missed greatly by all.
He is survived by his daughters, sister Dolores Wolpoff of Huntley, IL, nine grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren (with one on the way), and four great-great-grandchildren.
Wally’s amazing personality and infectious laughter, along with his willingness to help others, was limitless and will not soon be forgotten. He was an all around Hero!
