He attended the Ledyard Public schools from elementary school through high school. He was skilled in many different fields of work, but he was passionate and proud about obtaining his CDL and being a truck driver. He was employed by Anderson Oil in Ledyard for many years and was currently employed at McCarthy Oil in Quaker Hill where he was considered more than an employee, he was family.

He enjoyed various activities with his grandfather, father, and brothers which involved boating, fishing, and anything water related. He passed down his love of water related activities to his son Jorden, and they enjoyed many adventures together. He also enjoyed playing basketball with his son Ben, was teaching his daughter Autumn to drive, and worked on cars with his son Joey. Wally and Elaine enjoyed seasonal camping at Acorn Acres in Bozrah, where he was known as the go to person by all campers. He would make them feel at home.
