Walter Hinkle was born in 1952 in Shawnee Mission, KS and was a graduate of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He spent 30 years in Alaska as an awarded retail manager for Gottschalks department store. Walter enjoyed his work as much as he enjoyed photographing Alaska landscapes. He moved to Northfield in 2009 to be closer to family. Walter made a friend wherever he went with his kind hearted, gentle nature and he will be missed by many but none more than his significant other, Lori and his sister, Mary who loved and cared for him throughout his health struggles. He is survived by his sister Mary (John) Bigelow of New Prague and his brother Lynn and nephew Walker of Minneapolis and significant other, Lori Foote of Northfield. Walter passed away, surrounded by the ones he loved, on Saturday afternoon, May 18, 2013. Condolences can be sent to 906 Union St., Northfield, MN 55057.
