Wally lived his life on the Sioux Valley First Nation's Reserve. As a boy in 1964, he walked 12 kms to buy his first softball glove. He wanted so much to play ball at his Kenton Elementary School. And so he did. He played high school softball at Arthur Meighen High School in Portage, and later, Senior Men's softball on the Sioux Valley Reserve. From 1976-2002, he served in many capacities as community organizer, coach, manager/coordinator, as committee member, treasurer and president. He was simply someone everyone could trust 'to get the job done'. A fine man who contributed to his community in significant and wonderful ways.
