He was employed at Sun Oil Company and was owner/operator of Red Walter Sunoco Station and retired from the Borough of Chambersburg. Red was a longtime volunteer at Meals on Wheels at the Chambersburg Hospital, taught Sunday School, served as church treasurer, and coached many young people in baseball, basketball, and football. He loved golfing, running, and had a passion for the art of stained glass.
Family and friends were the most important thing in Red's life. He will be remembered for his influence on many people.
