Survivors include his daughters Cathy Smithmeyer and her husband Mark and Lisa Rayburn (Dan Ortega); his son Walt Topor, Jr. and his Fiancé Brooke Briggs; his step-son Chad May and his wife Jennifer; his brother Ron Topor and his wife Mary Ellen; his sisters Georgianna Kaylor and Francine Johnson and her husband Gary (Walt’s friend and partner in crime); his 10 grandchildren Stacy, Amanda, Robert, Anthony, Isabella, Savannah, Ethan, Owen, Aiden and Avery; 6 great-grandchildren Misa, Kristina, Leo, Jason, Emma and Maria; cousins and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
Funeral Services will be 2PM on Friday, July 20 in the chapel at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 2465 Chesapeake City Road, Bear, DE 19701.
