Sulkowski, Walter
San Leandro, California: Peacefully passed away at home on July 1, 2013. He was born September 24, 1946 in Rochester, New York. He moved to California in 1982, working for Rochester Midland as a regional vice president. He became a member of Richmond Country Club where he and his wife Peggy acquired a close group of friends. Besides golf, Waltee, as close friends called him, enjoyed the thrill of betting on the ponies, golf trips with the guys, and yearly visits to Mexico with his wife Peggy. Walter surprised us all by becoming the landscaper extraordinaire at his and Peggy's second home in Valley Springs, California. We will fondly remember his loyalty to his Buffalo Bills, his great skill at the barbeque, his famous "Waltee Beans," sparking blue eyes, and endearing sense of humor. Walter attended the University of Buffalo, and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army. He leaves behind, to remember a life well lived, his wife Margaret, a daughter Megan (Henry), stepchildren Carolyn (Eric), Brian, and two precious granddaughters, Mia (3) and Hannah (5 months).
Please join us for a celebration of Walter's life this Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Santos-Robinson Mortuary.

It's been years since our days at St. Stanislaus, but I see that Walt still had that warm smile that shown in his face. I offer my sincere sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace. Dianne Gilman

Waltee Boy was a generous, giving, and loyal friend. I was lucky enough to be invited on his golf trips to Palm Springs North and I will never forget his humor and hospitality. Thanks Walt, rest in peace.

I knew Walt from high school. I recently came across pictures from that time of a group of us at Durand-Eastman Beach. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
