After Walter retired, he settled down on a small ranch in Turlock, California. To keep
busy, he raised earthworms for the fishermen and agriculturists. Because of this, he became known as "Wormy Walt". Unfortunately,
his hip continued to get worse, probably as a result of his parachute jump from the L.V.G. in 1924. He died in 1957 as a result of
complications arising from his accident. Included on this page are three photos which his good friend Walter Bullock had sent to him. Bullock built and flew two classic airplanes as late as 1966. |
