Walter Kidde (; March 7, 1877 – February 9, 1943) was born in Hoboken, New Jersey. He graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1897. He was the owner of the Kidde company which manufactured fire extinguishers. His parents immigrated to the United States from Bohemia, and he is unrelated to the Danish Kidde family, to which the author Harald Kidde and the cartoonist and author Rune T. Kidde belong. Walter Kidde died of a heart attack in 1943 at the age of 65. ==Career==
At the age of 23, Walter Kidde opened Walter Kidde & Company. Walter Kidde & Company helped build ship yards at Port Newark and Kearny. He later joined the New Jersey State Highway Commission. During his time there, he oversaw the first traffic circle in Camden, the first clover-leaf intersection and most importantly the Pulaski Skyway in 1932. Even though he had no railroad experience, Walter Kidde was the court appointed trustee of the bankrupt New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway from July 24, 1937 until his death in 1943.〔http://secondriver.blogspot.com/2009/02/walter-kidde.html〕
