Walter

Daniel A. Walter, 61, of Harmony passed away Friday.

Born July 8, 1953, in Pittsburgh, he was the son of the late John A. and Virginia (Lowe) Walter Sr.

Dan was a 16-year veteran of the Army-National Guard. He was a proud member of the Oil City Astronomical Society, where he served on the board, and MENSA. Recognized for his high I.Q., Dan scored in the 99.75 percentile on the Inman Analogy I.Q. Test, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the hardest I.Q. test that can be taken. He was also a former member of the Conway Sportsmans Club. In his spare time, Dan enjoyed camping, observing with his telescope, inventing (his favorites were three ultralight helicopters), fishing and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He will be dearly missed and will be fondly remembered.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his beloved wife of 34 years, Patricia L. Krieble Walter; his children, Jason J. Walter of Slippery Rock, Sariah (Jason) Lawrence of Prospect, Jessica Walter-Williams of Zelienople, Stephanie Walter of Harmony and Tasha (Gregory) Walter Fecich of Wall; his daughter-in-law, Crystal Carnahan of Harmony; his sister, Mary Jane (Robert) Bollinger of Ellwood City; and 17 grandchildren.
