Pat was born in Peabody, MA on August 8, 1923, the tenth of eleven and last surviving child born to the late John and Honorata (Buras) Walor. At the age of 19, Pat enlisted in the U.S. Army. He fought in World War II in the 9th Infantry, landing on Utah Beach, Normandy, days after D-Day, and received a Purple Heart for injuries he received in Belgium from German artillery on his 21st birthday.

He truly enjoyed people, staying active, farming, Polka dancing, playing cribbage, watching sports of any kind, and always in service to others. He not only touched the lives of those he met but also left a mark on the hearts of all he encountered. Pat is survived by his children Joseph Walor of Fredericksburg, VA, Patricia Diodati and her husband Michael of Lawrence, Sandra Walor and Edward Leczynski, Jr. of Lowell, and Mary Kazalski and her husband Joseph of Dracut; seven grandchildren, Dr. David, Lisa, and Sarah Walor, Michael Diodati and Sandra (Diodati) Slager, Fred Kazalski and Kasia (Leczynski) Hatfield; fourteen great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.
