Walter J. Wisniewski Jr.

WISNIEWSKI - Walter J., Jr. Walter slipped away peacefully on Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 5:30 AM in the company of his daughter, Mary Veronica Wisniewski of Williamsville NY, and son, Michael Wisniewski of Vermont who spoke to him all night about his life. The love he gave was large and was returned, measure for measure. His body was progressively broken over the years, but his warmth and good spirits, though sorely tested, never faded. Last weekend he enjoyed a visit from his two grandsons, Aaron and Sam Wisniewski. All phone calls to Michael referred to them as “those handsome gentlemen” and ended by sending love to “Your beautiful wife, Janine.” Discussion about his nightly brandy ensued. He was predeceased by his lovely wife of 58 years, Dorothy (Moskal) in 2007 and his brother, Dan Wisniewski (wife Marcie). Born: Buffalo, March 6, 1927, lost his mother at age 2.
