Born in Manhattan, N.Y., on November 19, 1929, to the late Waldemar and Clara, he is survived by a stepdaughter, Mary Ellen Corbett; a stepson, Joseph Gagliardo; and two sons, Mark and Stuart Fuhlbrugge; in addition to thirteen grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one brother-in-law, Anthony; a half-brother, Wally; and a half-sister, Linda. He was also predeceased by his wife of 49 years, Vivian; and his daughter, Christine; and his son, Vincent.

Wally was a graduate of Andrew Jackson High School in Queens, New York, class of 1950. He served honorably in the United States Air Force from 1950-1958, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant.
