Beloved husband for 32 years of Nanette Dawson (nee Wasilko). Loving father of Jonathon (Kate); Katie (Marcus Hunt); Matthew (Jen Sockol). Loving Papa to Braelynn Irene, Chase Michael, Avery Lee, and Sawyer Marie. Brother of Brian (Jen). Brother-in-law of Johnny (Debbie), Mike (Marian), uncle, cousin, and friends to many. He held a special place in his heart for Dianne Rhodes (Ms. Beck).

He was then stationed in Fort Rucker, Alabama in the 260th field artillery detachment air assault unit. Wally was a retired correction officer at the Lorain Correctional Institution.
Wally was a diehard Cleveland Browns fan and never missed a family football Sunday. He was a fun, loving, and a one-of-a-kind family man who loved his family more than anything.
We will miss his contagious laugh and great big bear hugs. There wasn’t a person who met Wally that didn’t love him.
