Walter was born November 5, 1925, in St. Ansgar, the son of Henry and Agnes (Miller) Intorf. He attended school in Osage, leaving his junior year to join the Army Air Corps in 1943. Walt trained to be a pilot and began a life-long passion for speed and flying planes that later evolved into making meticulous models of the planes he flew in World War II and barnstorming events in the 1950’s.
He was employed by his father’s plumbing business after the war, and later by Foth Plumbing in Osage. On October 4, 1948, Walter was united in marriage to Alice Wagner at Sacred Heart Church in Osage. Alice died June 21, 2001. Walter was united in marriage to Marci Heiden on August 18, 2002.

Walt was a master craftsman of furniture and a clock maker. He collected antiques with the emphasis on toys. He was truly God’s gift to all who knew him, and an inspiring example of what it means to be a kind and noble Christian gentleman.
