Walter Paul Toll was born in Ogden, UT on December 11,1958. He was the son of William & Ann (Shirley) Toll of Framingham, MA. In addition to both of his parents, Walter leaves behind his sister and brother-in-law Katherine (Toll) & Peter Plucinski, his niece and nephew Shirley & Benjamin Plucinski, along with many cousins and other extended family members.

In 2004, he moved back to Massachusetts just in time to witness the Boston Red Sox FINALLY win the World Series which occurred during a multi planetary alignment and lunar eclipse!!! Wally was a devoted Boston sports fanatic & this was one of his most treasured memories!!!

Wally traveled all throughout the United States. He visited and lived in many, many places. Along the way he always made new friends & acquaintances by charming them easily with his quick wit and good humor. If there was a fun time to be had, Wally was always the first one in line!
