Belle Harbor, New York
Obituary
Send FlowersHandyman and Lawyer
Capt. Walter Hynes was the person his extended family relied on for everything. If you needed your plumbing fixed or a room painted, Walter would do it. He would change your tire. He was the family lawyer. He even met his wife while lending a hand: he was helping another firefighter, Richard Fanning, move into a new house and was introduced to Mr. Fanning's sister.
Captain of Ladder Company 13 at 85th Street and Lexington Avenue, Walter lived in Belle Harbor, Queens, with his wife, Veronica, and their three daughters. He had worked as a firefighter in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and put himself through law school at St. John's University at night.
"He had no free time," a family member said yesterday, "because he was always doing for everyone else."

I just watched a show about you and other victims/survivor on the history channel and I knew I just had to leave a message. May you rest in eternal peace and may god bless you always. My deepest condolences are with you and your family. From what I read and heard you were a wonderful man and the world is a better place because you were in it. Bless you and your family always.

My husband is a firefighter in the KC area and has participated in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb the last 2 years (he is climbing today). He has walked for Captain Hynes the last 2 years. We have read about him and what a great man he was. We thank him for his service and my husband, Jared Steinhauser is honored to climb for him.

I ended up choosing this man for my 9/11 victims.. and ended up kinda finding my hero. everything I've read about him, and all the little things he stood for.. it just erks me that he was taken from his family and friends so soon, in such a tragic way. My best wishes go out to his wife and daughters.

While doing some internet surfing I ran across a tribute to Captain Hynes. I just wanted to add my condolences to his family, and say that 10+ years we remember, and will forever be grateful for his sacrifice. God bless you all.

I was reading some of the comments put here for Wally from complete strangers. I just wanted to let all of you out there know that this was such a nice guy..with the biggest smile and a really good heart. I worked with him for a few years..and he worked so hard! I can't say enough about him, I always liked him..and think of him fondly. He is missed and thought of by so many...
