Patrick Waltz(1924-1972)

The younger son of two male children born to Frank and Lucy Leona (Dugan) Waltz, Jack Richard had an elder brother, Frank. Jack married Phyllis Dolores Showalter (born September 27, 1923 - died March 5, 1981) on September 27, 1941 in Summit County, Ohio by the deputy clerk in the office of Probate Judge Dean Fay. Waltz was 16 years old and it was Showalter's 18th birthday but both are listed as being 17 years old. His age is incorrectly recorded as "17 years of age on the 6 day of December 1940". The license was taken out on September 23, 1941. The daughter of Earl W. and Bertie (Calvert) Showalter, her parents are listed as giving their consent for their still minor age daughter. The union was apparently childless and ended in divorce on September 22, 1954. He married, secondly, to co-star Lisa Davis on June 28, 1958. The couple had three children. The marriage ended in divorce in 1971, one year before Waltz's death at age 47.
