Walter's siblings, David Jordan and Lynne Jordan, shared countless memories and moments of laughter with him, forming an unbreakable familial bond. Walter's legacy is further cherished by his granddaughters Zahrah Jordan, Alaina Jordan, and Marlee Williams, and his grandsons Carl Green and Christopher Toles. His great-grandchildren, Zuri, Zereka, Zerese, and Mateo, were the apples of his eye, bringing immense joy to his later years.
