Walter Storlazzi
Mr. Storlazzi was born on October 20, 1915 in Malden, one of 5 children of the late Pasquale and Evelina Storlazzi.Raised and educated in Malden, he graduated from Malden High School during the Depression.Without immediate work, Walter along with his friends "jumped the trains" and travelled the country on the railways.After returning home, he served in the US Army Air Force as a Staff Sergeant, proudly managing aircraft maintenance teams at several AAF bases in the South during WWII.He worked for General Electric for over 40 years as a machinist and inspector at the Riverworks plant in Lynn.
Nearing his retirement from G.E., Walter picked up the game of golf as his new favorite pastime.He soon found great joy in walking the fairways of Mt. Hood in Melrose with his wife Rose and their golfing friends.Mt. Hood became known as their second home as they spent many spring, summer, and fall days walking the course.They played in the Senior League at Mt. Hood for many years and after reaching their 80's finally began taking a cart.
After spending many years working on jet engines, he found computers to be an interesting challenge. His enthusiasm for technology grew into having a laptop for each floor of the house and developed an interest in digital cameras.Walter also enjoyed staying active outdoors with yard work, tending to his yearly vegetable garden, and taking weekly trips to Market Basket in Woburn.
