Walter Krawtschenko

We just found out about the passing of Walter in a Christmas card from his mom. My heart goes out to her and the entire family. I am still in shock and the tears don't stop... The years have taken us our separate ways, but I LOVE YOU, "Lodgie"- still and always... You were a wonderful person and a beautiful soul... I have so many fond memories and I especially remember when you would stop by here to see me after I was widowed, and how happy you were with Janet and the kids and how grateful...

Walter, Walter, Walter! What will we ever do without you. Life of course will go on, but loseing a FRIEND like you is impossible to conceive. Although our relationship is somewhat shorter than some we will never ever forget you. a friend of ours said one time if you have more than a handfull of friends you are...

My heart goes out to all of Walt's family and to all of his friends that have been touched by his loss. I will always remember the great fun I had with him and my brother-in-law on the golf courses of New Jersey and Florida. My lasting memory of him will be the last time I saw him as we were leaving a golf course this August. He looked at me with a loud grin and said "This is paradise!!!"

I pray that he has found peace ..... and that where he finds himself now ..... is paradise.

Please accept our deepest sympathies. I've been friends with both Walt's and Janet's families for over 40 years. I know everyone is devestated by Walt's passing. I'll never understand why someone so young, just starting retirement is taken so soon in their life. Walt always was one of the good guys and my best friend. I will miss him for as long as I live. I always thought we would get that round of golf and drinks in one day. May God bless you and everyone in the Krawtschenko and Allen...

Our deepest condolences to Janet, Yolanda and Walt's entire family. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Though I haven't seen or spoken to Walt in several years, I was saddened a great deal to learn of his passing. I know Walt from back when we hung out at Lalor schoolyard. Walt was one of the true "yardbirds", which was a group of about 20 or so of us that played baseball, basketball, went duck hunting,and just plain hung out together everyday, day in day out back in the 60s and 70s. The guys already at the yard would watch to see who was coming in the distance...."here comes Ray, or here...

We both worked with Walt during our years at Mercer County. He was a great guy.Please accept our sincerest condolences.

On the eighteenth of this month I heard
of Walter's passing. I was totally stunned. We had worked with each other for 23 years. I learned many things from him and Janet. It amazed me how he always had the answers to my questions. His family always came first and he was very proud of them. Please know that he was the finest person I ever had the pleasure of working for. My heart goes out to his
entire family. Janet I will be in touch.

Our deepest condolences to Mrs Nina, Natalie, Andre and Walt's entire family. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Last time I ran into Walt how he made me laugh. He was always making someone laugh. He had that special touch. We shared wonderful memories of our childhood days going to Church, Ukraine school and all the "Zabava's". He was a very special person that brought joy to all of us. Rest in peace dear friend till we meet again. God Bless.

Love,
Mrs...
