Walt died Dec. 15, 2013, in South Setauket, N.Y.
He was a graduate of Haverford High School in Havertown, Pa. He left Princeton during his sophomore year due to health problems. He then continued his studies at Bucknell, where he earned a bachelor’s degree; and at Penn, where he earned a master’s degree. Before leaving Princeton, he was a cross-country and track manager, and was active in Orange Key, WPRU, and Whig-Clio. He also was a member of Campus Club.
Walt worked for 10 years in Washington for the Department of the Navy and then joined First Pennsylvania Bank in Philadelphia. In 1969, he moved to Oregon to accept a vice presidency of trust investment at First National Bank of Oregon. He later retired as a chartered financial analyst for Portland General Electric. By 2010, he had relocated to Pennsylvania, his home state.
We extend sympathy to his wife, Beverly; daughter Kathryn and son William (by his first wife, Kathryn); grandchildren; and Beverly’s children, Stephen, Thomas, and Dorothy.
