His family was his biggest priority and love, and boy, was he part of a large ever growing family. He was a friend of Bill for 38 years and said that friendship made him a better person in all aspects of his life! A loyal and consummate professional he worked for Copolymer Rubber and Chemical Company for 32 years. Walt was a Staff Sergeant in the Army National Guard and Army Active Duty at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. He ran three New York City Marathons and liked the solitude of long distance running. Walt was a great storyteller and would tell ANYONE a story, and he never met a stranger.

Services will be held at St George Catholic Church in the Chapel on May 10, 2023.

Visitation from 8:30 am until mass at 10:30. Interment at the St. George Mausoleum directly following.
