- Obituary for Walter L Broniszewski
Walter L. Broniszewski passed away peacefully at home in North Tonawanda where he was a lifelong resident. Loving father to Michael, Karen West, Kathleen Dill, Christal and his rescue dog Maggie.
The last of his generation, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 49 years, Gail (Anderson) as well as his parents, Andrew and Bessie Broniszewski and his sisters Veronica (Eddie) Wojnarowski, Josephine (Leonard) Wokoske, Lilian (Ray) Waszieczko, Stella (Joe) Osypiewski, and Helen (Stanley) Kastelan. Proud papa to Ferris (Jessica), Shawn, Sarah, Regan, Maddie, Gavin, Maya, Erin, and Zac. Great grandpa to Anders with another one on the way. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Walter served in the United States Army from 1957 to 1959 as a cook and a lifeguard. He was exempt from serving in Korea because he was the only son of a widow with 5 daughters. He was once an employee of the Alan Herschell Carousel Company and retired as a machinist from Broda Machine.
Wally was also an exempt volunteer fireman from Gratwick Hose Co. and an active member of First United Methodist Church where he served as an usher and all-around handyman. He enjoyed the outdoors with hunting and fishing, boating, camping and gardening as favorite activities. Indoors he enjoyed carpentry and finished the wood trim in the family home.
Arrangements are through Wattengel Funeral Home. A service and celebration of life will be held at the family’s convenience later in the year. Memorial contributions in Walter’s name can be made to Niagara Hospice, the SPCA, or any charity of your choice.
