Walter YOST Obituary
Walter graduated from Tamaqua High School in 1954; he earned a B.S. from East Stroudsburg University, and a M.Ed. from Temple. His career as an educator landed him at Blue Mountain, Marple Newtown, and Brandywine High Schools before settling at Abington High School. He taught drivers education and history, having retired in 1993.
Walter's love of sports led him to another successful career.

A longtime Suburban 1 and Bicentennial League Basketball Assignor, a four-sport varsity PIAA official and collegiate Division I official, Walt developed a camaraderie and rapport with hundreds of fellow officials, coaches and school administrators. He work-ed as a basketball observer for the Ivy/Patriot League. He also enjoyed working as a field staff member for the Philadelphia section of the PGA.
In addition to his wife, Janet, Walt is survived by his daughters: Manon A. Yost of Naples FL, Sandra A. Yost of Hilltown, Mary Kaye Lagreca (Michael) of Huntingdon Valley, Michelle L.

I was saddened to learn about Walt. I knew him through my coaching and his officiating. He had style and class never losing his composure when the games were tight. I enjoyed observing him in action when he was at Cheltenham contests and how well he related to players and coaches. In recent years Walt would greet me whenever our paths crossed and I enjoyed his warm personality. My deepest sympathy to his family.
