Recollection by his nephew, Jim Yates:
"Walter was a big, tall Irishman. I idolized him because he was a policeman. Once we went to visit them and I did my best to see him get off the streetcar and walk to the house. Of course it was awesome to me because he carried a real, loaded revolver, wore a uniform and badge! I still have an "Acme Thunderer" police whistle he gave me! He told me he used to use it when directing traffic but at the time (older now) was a guard at the airport."
