The two have spent every day since, laughing and loving the life they’ve built surrounded by the family and friends they’ve made.

Walt was one of the richest men alive, he loved those around him, and it was obvious when Walt and Gina walked into a room that he loved his wife, and she loved him. Walt has always been proud to be a Marine, and has been known to be a family man, rider, Charter Member of the Evil & Debauchery Cruising Family, and cherished member and jacketed supporter of the Bikers Against Bullies family.
