Walter James Marcinowski's Obituary
Walter J. Marcinowski, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 31, 2024, at the age of 81. Born on March 17, 1943, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Walter and Rita Marcinowski.
Walter's life was one of dedication and love. He was a devoted husband to Margaret Ann (nee Pacyna) Marcinowski for 58 remarkable years, a union that was a testament to enduring partnership and mutual respect. Together, they raised two sons, Keith (Christine) Marcinowski and Kyle (Donna) Marcinowski, who remember their father as a guiding light and a pillar of strength. Walter took immense pride in his grandchildren, Emily, Austin, Alec, and Brooke, and could often be found in the stands, cheering them on at their sporting events.
His commitment to his country was evident through his service in the National Guard in his younger years, a period of his life that instilled in him a sense of duty and honor. Walter carried these values throughout his life, touching the hearts of all who knew him.
Walter's interests painted the picture of a man who embraced life with enthusiasm. He was an avid fan of the TV show "Blue Bloods," which he never missed an episode of, and he enjoyed losing himself in the pages of his favorite series by Bill O'Reilly. Music was another passion, and the classic rock tunes that filled his home will forever be a reminder of his spirited nature.
