Walter Stuecken Obituary
He was dearly loved and will be missed by family, friends and many Park City non-profits where he shared his time, talents and delightful sense of humor. He always managed to offer a kind word or amusing story wherever he went.
In 2000, Wally had retired from a position as a research and technical director at an automotive supply company in Detroit to come to Park City as a seasonal worker at Deer Valley Resort. He and his wife moved to Park City as permanent residents in 2006 and became professional volunteers.
Wally is survived by his wife Lorraine, their daughters Debra Keller, Mary Patricia Chance and Theresa Gobert, and their grandchildren Melissa LeClair, Krystyn Hall, Emily Ojobaro and Keegan Gobert. He was especially proud of his 9 great-grandchildren who live all around the country. He is also survived by his three sisters Marianne Green, Irene Pattock and Nancy Polesnak.
A memorial service will be held at Park City Community Church, 4501 N. Highway 224 (435-649-8131) on Sunday, February 24th at 3:00 pm.
Memorial donations may be made to the Christian Center, Peace House, Park City Community Church or People's Health Clinic.

Wally will be greatly missed. He would always sing O'Canada and would talk about hockey with me. He was great with the kids at Deervalley in the reindeer room while Lorraine was teaching.

Lorraine, We are so sorry to read of Wally's passing. He was a dear man to work for back at Grow Automotive. I still have a small ceramic pumpkin that he gave me back in the 1990's You will be in our prayers as you go through these next few months. He has obviously left a great legacy of kindness and love.

Dear Lorraine and family,
We have so many sweet memories of you both.
When we moved to Park City, I made a hair appt. at a
Salon in the Prospecter area of town. Having no sense of
Direction, I wandered around the area searching and
Lost. You and Wally were riding your bikes and at
A stop sign I told you my plight. You gave me a "byclycle
Escort" right to the salon! I was on time and so grateful!
Rog and I could share so many chance meetings and
Blessed times with you both.
Life is taking you on another path of challanges.
We have seen His Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control
In your lives...so we know His Spirit is in you and with you.
Psalm 91 vs 4
May He keep you and your family in the shelter of His Wings...
His faithful promises are your refuge.

Hi Lorraine: I will miss visiting St Mary's, Community Church, Creekside, Mt. Life, Church, Cristian Center, and Capitol, seeing you and Wally, at all the gatherings of God's people!
I will miss sharing our G.M., DuPont automotive history with Wally, swapping stories of our 40 year working history. I will miss sharing history of growing up in Detroit, Michigan, and all the same suburban areas, that we hung out growing up in the 50,s through the 90'ies.
I can and will talk to Wally from time to time, till we meet again, Blessings, Roger Shaw

When we first met Wally and Lorraine it was under a very hard time in my life . I was a single mom and had called the Christian Center we met at a meeting and they just grabbed a hold of us and showed us around Park City . They took us apple picking/ to a pond we could fish at and feed the ducks . My daughter and I to a Disney symphony show at Deer Valley and they took Izzy skiing as well. We would go on walks and meet places . Most of all they had the best sense of humor and we always saw them serving and helping others and laughing!! They were so kind and fun to be with . They even came to my wedding - they were our family in Park City - I am so happy that Wally is with our Heavenly Father but my heart goes out to you Lorraine for I know you must miss him so.! I pray your family, friends and loved ones are around you now lifting you up. I pray the Holy Spirit comforts you . I wish we could be there . Thank you both for being the hands and feet of Jesus!! We love you Carrie ,RickyIzzy and Nate

Beloved Wally will always be remembered as shining his light as a reflection of God's love to all he met; never meeting a stranger!
His arm was always up saying, Here I am Lord! Send me! We love you Wally always.

He will be greatly missed and I hope that Wally is making popcorn and telling jokes to his friends in heaven. A very generous man and a great volunteer at PC Film Series. We will remember your smile.

I was saddened to learn from Andrea about Wally's passing. I met him only once or twice, but I was impressed by him. He was such a good friend of Richard and Andrea, and I learned from them what a good citizen he was. He will be missed. Ellen and I send our condolences.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one, Wally. May 1 Thessalonians 4:14 bring you some comfort in knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death. They are very precious in Gods eyes. May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow.
