Born and raised in Millville to the late Elliott and Annabelle (Pettit) Lore, Walter was a lifelong resident. He graduated from Millville High School, and then went on to work at Wheaton Glass Company in Millville as an operator for over 40 years, retiring in 2007.

Walter loved NASCAR, and was a die-hard Dale Earnhardt, Sr. fan to the core. Some of Walter's other favorite pastimes were dancing, drinking beer, sitting out in his beautiful yard, and going on countless trips with his dog, Shania, to Fortescue, East Point Lighthouse, and Strathmere. Walter also enjoyed listening to Paul Anka and Kid Rock. Most of all, Walter treasured the time that he was able to share with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren.
