Walt Fitzgerald was an AFL referee #18, then a NFL Referee #16 until retiring after 1971. Here's some footage of him:
According to his obit from earlier this year, he was born in 1923, and retired from the NFL at age 48. Does anyone know why he left the league so young?

I'd love to hear more about old school AFL Officials.
