I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Walter. He was a very good friend and team mate of my brother David Rossi before he died in a horrible accident in 1974. I remember them playing ball for Agawam High together and laughing with all the guys. I’m sure Walter, Peter Ronci and David are playing again. I’m sorry and heartbroken for your family and for my classmate Sabin. RIP

Walter (I always referred to him as "little Walter") always had a smile and was quick to laugh. And yes he was a party person. I enjoyed many good times at family functions with Walter and his parents.

Uncle Walter was so kind and thoughtful. I really enjoyed our conversations. I learned interesting things from him. He was also very fun to be around with a warm personality. He was very devoted to his family. I have some very good memories of him. I will miss him.

On February 21, 2025, Walter Stanley Ugolick passed away surrounded by his children, their spouses, granddaughters, and sister. Walter was born in 1954 in Springfield, Massachusetts to Walter and Helen Ugolick, and was a graduate of Agawam High School. Walter and his family relocated to the Washington Metropolitan area in 1991 before settling down in Ashburn, Virginia in 1998; where he resided until his passing. Before retirement, Walter worked for years in the petroleum and environmental construction field including a response to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina to assist in rebuilding the petroleum infrastructure.
Walter was known for throwing big parties with his wife, Leslie, who preceded him in passing in 2021. Walter was lovingly known by family and friends as the "party instigator." His devotion to his family was unrivaled, and he will truly be missed by all friends and family.
Walter is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Adams, and her husband Justin of Haymarket, Virginia; son Cory Ugolick, and his wife Rebecca of Raleigh, North Carolina; two granddaughters, Alexis (12) and Madilyn Jean (4); his sister, Sabina Papai, and husband Jim of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and two granddogs, Lucy and Teebo.
Walter's family will announce a celebration of life at a later time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Walter's memory to the American Cancer Society.
