At Princeton Walt rowed freshman crew, played rugby, served as chairman of the Orange Key Blood Drive and as chairman of the Nassau Herald, and enjoyed social life at Key and Seal Club. Following graduation, Walt attended Stanford Law School, participated in a small firm that later went national, put together a public company, then returned to private practice.
Walt contracted multiple sclerosis at an early age, and never let that deter him. His positive attitude was a hallmark that friends, business associates, and his medical providers admired. He was pleased to have participated in our 50th reunion.
Walt became very engaged in Jewish affairs, actively participating in the Jewish United Fund (Chicago) and B’nai B’rith. Their synagogue-inspired chavurah friends were especially meaningful to Walt and his wife. Walt also enjoyed music, gardening, reading World War I and World War II history, and Jewish-related writings.
Walt is survived by his wife, Judy; daughters Tammie ’90, Amy, Julie, Abby and Betsy; and 12 grandchildren. The class extends its condolences to the entire family.
