On May 28, 1976, he married Dorothy "Dot" (Schultz) Imus. She survives along with their children, Shane (Sonya) Imus, Kyleen Miller and Matt (Megan) Rose, along with six granddaughters and a grandson. Also surviving are siblings Kelly (Karen) Rose, Cheree (Jim) Thews and Bret (Gina) Rose. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Wally was an entrepreneur who, with his wife, started two businesses and ran a third. He was a volunteer fireman and known for his ambulance driving skills. He ended his career as a conversion van/truck salesman. Once retired, he quickly became what his family would refer to as “The busiest retired guy ever”.
As a proud U.S. Army veteran, he was very supportive of active duty military, veterans and was pleased to see the U.S. Army tradition continue in his family. He was never without an Army t-shirt or hat on or without the U.S. flag flying at the home he shared with his loving wife, Dot.
He was a classic car enthusiast that enjoyed the local cruise-ins, loved John Wayne movies, Notre Dame, euchre, softball, traveling, reading and randomly singing. With his sense of humor, firm handshake and outgoing personality, he never met a stranger and had an extensive group of friends. He was ready to help anyone be it friend, family member or neighbor. Wally loved his family and told everyone how overjoyed he was by them.
Wally’s silliness, love, thoughtfulness, hugs and energy endeared him to his grandchildren and gave them lasting memories. He was feisty and affectionate, hardworking, caring, stubborn, honest, loved family traditions, was always ready to talk and carried a deep love for his wife, children and grandchildren that will forever be felt. He will be missed greatly.
