He was born on May 12, 1941 in Salem. The son of the late George and Sara (Gromley) Callahan.
He was a lifetime resident of the area, attended Salem High School and retired after a long career as a truck driver. There have been a lot of things over the years that he has found to take care of. He had helped his brother-in-law, Ed Geary, when he started the towing business. If a big or small engine needed to be fixed, Walt wasn’t afraid to tackle it.
When the modern age of computers arrived, it helped him fix things. He became a staunch youtuber, it was his help to fix anything. The History Channel was very mainstream, he set up shop to watch stuff about wars and shows about westerns. Walter had also attended Greenford Christian Church.
