While living in Wisconsin, Wally's unique sense of humor charmed everyone he met, most notably his coworkers at Sam's Club and Home Depot. When he wasn't working, Wally enjoyed playing computer games, spending time with his family, and watching a variety of television, including college football, The Goldbergs, and The Walking Dead. He also enjoyed superhero movies such as The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. A lifelong animal lover, Wally was constantly taking in stray cats, feeding the birds, and rescuing turtles out of the street.
