Walt and Virginia were married on July 21, 1945. They have four children, Tom, Mike, Patty, and Steve. Virginia worked at home caring for their children, while Walt served our country in the U.S. Air Force. He was a pilot and flew B-52 aircraft. He retired in March of 1968 as a Lt. Colonel.

If Walt was having a particular stressful day, a big bowl of ice cream (any flavor) would surely pick up his spirits.

I remember one time after mowing his lawn I didn’t have a ride home, and he refused to let me walk home… so he proceeded to try and shove the whole lawn mower into the back of his new Lexus sedan (He wouldn’t take no for an answer)….and tried to drive it back to my house but the car wouldn’t start because the trunk was ajar. I most remember sitting in the car for 45 minutes while he tried to figure out why the car wouldn’t start, but he wanted to figure it out on his own….. Thank for the memories Mr. Erdmann.
He was an AMAZING grandfather. Anyone would have been lucky to know him. He is thought of EVERY day, and loved more as the days go by.
Grandpa, you are always going to missed, and forever remembered and loved. I love you.
