Walter was born on August 12, 1927 in Switzerland. After marrying Maria Schoenenberger, they both immigrated to the United States in 1956 and raised four children in Hayward, CA.

Walter was a sausage maker by trade then transitioned to a ski technician at Swiss Ski Chalet where he would share his love for skiing with everyone he came in contact. Walter enjoyed everything outdoors; skiing, cycling, backpacking, camping, gardening and a one-time bungy jump!
