William Walker Obituary
August 13, 1957 - December 6, 2019
Warwick, NY
William D. Walker of Warwick, NY passed away with his loving wife by his side on December 6, 2019. He was 62 years old.
Born in Brooklyn, NY on August 13, 1957, William was the son of William J. and Ann K. (Burger) Walker.
He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps 1975-1979.
Bill was an FDNY Firefighter with Engine 201 and Squad 1. A great athlete and an avid sports fan, Bill coached Warwick Town soccer and softball. He was most proud of being a longtime coach for St. Stephen's girls' basketball. He was a devoted fan of the UConn Women's basketball team, and instilled that same love of sports in his three daughters. A family statement reads, "William was a real 'family man' who loved his family, his country, the Fire Department and the Marines."
Bill is survived by his "Darling Wife" of 36 years, Mary; three daughters: Eileen Heiny and her husband, Major Patrick Heiny, Mary Kate Polifrone and her wife, Kimberly, and Ann Jones and her husband, Corbin; siblings: Daniel Walker, Ann Walker, Michael Walker, Maureen Seipp, and Dr. Colleen Rivers; and six grandchildren: Madeline, Clare, Patrick, Katherine, William and Ryan Ann.
