Notes:

GILBERT IRVIN WALCK, age 82, of Sanborn, NY, passed into eternal rest with his Lord and Savior in his home on May 4, 2020, while being cared for by his loving family and Niagara Hospice. He was born in Niagara Falls, NY, on February 23, 1938, to the late Edward and Florence Walck.
On October 19, 1963, Gilbert married Carol Joyce (Pfohl) Walck, his wife of 56 years. Gilbert was a life long, self employed dairy farmer in Niagara County which included a herd of dairy cows that spanned 51 years. He served on various agricultural committees which included the Farm Service Agency for USDA, Niagara County Farm Bureau and as a Director for Wendt's Dairy. He was an exempt member of the Sanborn Volunteer Fire Company and had served in the United States National Guard.
Throughout his life Gilbert enjoyed bowling in the Sanborn Businessmen League, watching his favorite baseball team the New York Yankees, deer hunting at the cabin, and riding in his golf cart to check up on what the boys were doing, on the farm. One of his greatest passions was his yearly trip to the Indianapolis 500 race with his dear friends.
Coffee with friends at Marsh's store and Sunday lunch at the Jetport after church were part of his weekly routine he so enjoyed. Gilbert had a very outgoing personality and no matter the event, always knew someone and took time for a conversation. He was a life long active member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church where he faithfully attended weekly worship services.
Gilbert is survived by his loving wife, Carol Walck, and three children, Randy J. (Amy) Walck, Darla J. (Randall) Kroening-Retzlaff and Gary K. (Jill Haseley) Walck; six grandchildren, Tyler (Laura) Kroening, Matthew Kroening, Brock Kroening, Sara, Katie and Luke Walck; a brother Gerald (Kathleen) Walck of Sanborn, NY, a sister Janice (late Martin) Wick of Schwenksville, PA; and many nieces and nephews. Gilbert was predeceased by his broter Arnold Walck; sister Norine (Walck) Wendt; brother-in-law Bertrum Wendt; and son-in-law Mark D. Kroening. Gilbert was the son-in-law of the late Wallace and Edna (Schimschack) Pfohl.
Due to the current circumstances, a private service was held May 8th. at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Walmore, with the Rev. Thomas Thorstad, officiating. Interment followed in the church cemetery. Memorials may be made in Gilbert's name to St. Peter's Lutheran Church or St. Peter's Lutheran School, 6167 Walmore Road, Sanborn, NY 14132, or Niagara Hospice.
