He graduated from Saint Mauritius Grade School, Butler Twp. High School in 1943, and later attended TriState University. He spent many years working in the steel industry, first at Standard Press Steel in Jenkintown, and then Bethlehem Steel in Lebanon, from which he retired. Walter's greatest joy was flying.

He is survived by his brothers, Raymond of Hatboro, and Oscar of Mechanicsburg; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and greatnephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Joseph and Leo; and his sister, Marie. Friends and family are invited to a viewing at Saint Mauritius Church, Ashland, on Friday from 8:30 to 10 a.m., followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at Saint Joseph's Cemetery, Fountain Springs. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Good Shepherd Elementary School, 2400 Market St., Camp Hill, PA 17011. William F. McDonald Jr. Funeral Home, Girardville, is in charge of arrangements.
