His wife, Ruth, passed away on Sept. 30.
"Joe Walters was as big a part of Villanova basketball as . . . any other Villanova legend," Wildcats coach Jay Wright said. "His love for this university and basketball program was unconditional, and his dedication to it . . . served as an inspiration to all of us.
"No one loved Villanova more. [We] will miss him dearly."
Walters was an assistant to Al Severance in his final season (1960-61), was a television analyst for Wildcat games, served on the board of trustees (1973-82) and was inducted in the Villanova Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996.
He is survived by eight children (two others preceded him in death), 17 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
A viewing will be held tomorrow at 9 a.m. in the St. Thomas of Villanova chapel followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11. *
