Later he went on to receive his Professional Engineer License.
While in his senior year at Tri-State University, Walt was recruited by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation and took a job in their Beaver, PA facility. It was while he worked at this facility that his then to be wife spotted him. As Ruth will tell you “I wasn’t going to let him go anywhere”. Shortly thereafter they married. Walt was then transferred to Curtiss-Wright’s West Caldwell, NJ offices where he designed propeller blades for fighter aircraft. After his career at the Curtis Wright Corporation he worked as a Civil Engineer for the Clinton-Bogert Corporation, Fort Lee, NJ before retiring in 1990.
Walt was a parishioner of the Holy Cross Church in the Mountain View Section of Wayne and later became a parishioner of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in the Packanack Lake section of the township.
Walt was generous with his time, talent and heart. He served Wayne Township as a Councilman for four terms and went on to serve two terms as Mayor of Wayne Township from 1977 – 1985.
Having joined in 1948, Walt is a former Chief of the Packanack Lake Fire Company #5, Wayne and a former Fire Commissioner of the township. He is a NJ State Exempt Fireman and a member of the NJ State Fireman’s Relief Association.
He was a member of the Packanack Lake Country Club and the Packanack Lake Athletic Association where he served as an umpire, coach and commissioner. Walter was a member of the Wayne Elks Lodge #2181 and was also an Explorer Scout leader.
Walter’s outgoing personality was complemented by his love of teaching others and his meticulous nature. He enjoyed social gatherings where he could be among his family and friends. Most of all Walt loved the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren.
