Kevin Wall Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Chicago, IL, on Aug. 20, 1934, the son of John and Mary (Davis) Wall, Kevin was the youngest of five children: John, Francis (Pete), Edward and Maripat. Kevin was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He resided in Medford for the last 48 years but always cherished his Midwestern and Irish roots. He was a proud graduate of St. Ignatius High School and Xavier University. He lived the Jesuit principle of Cura Personalis. He retired at 80 after a long career in the steel construction industry and was never without the right tool for a task or an idea to solve a problem. He was a parishioner at St. Mary of the Lakes R.C. Church in Medford, where he served as an usher for many years. He enjoyed serving his community, serving as President of the Birchwood Lakes Colony Club for several terms as well as serving on the Board of Directors for decades. Kevin was a Veteran and proudly served his country as a captain in the U.S. Army.
He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Valerie Wall (nee Conley); his three children, Deborah Wall, Marilou Greed (David), and Jennifer Campbell (Matthew); his sister, Maripat Berry (Tom); five grandchildren, Bridgid, Katherine, Kevin, Erin and Sean; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The (almost) perfect role model in business and life #career #kindness #respect #rolemodel #business #community #carecantwait
Last Monday I lost my beloved Dad, Kevin Wall. He was 87, and lived a great life, attested by the flood of heartbroken family and friends who immediately reached out to pay condolences and tell us how much they loved him and would miss him. Just a week later, the NJ lake community where he lived (and I grew up since 5th grade), and served on the board for over 40 years including three times as president, commemorated a special day in his honor.
He was diagnosed with an aggressive metastatic colon cancer, and lasted only five months despite chemo. I stepped away from my career to care for and spend time with him, as my mother has advanced Parkinsons and could not. It was the best decision I have ever made. I don't have any regrets, except that as hard as we tried, my mom and sisters and I couldn't save him.
He set a constant example (even when he was sick), for me, my family, his friends and colleagues through:
Always being there - he was a rock for others, highly dependable, someone everyone always counted on
Putting others first- he was a loyal and unselfish person, always focused on helping others first and solving problems, in business or in life
Keeping his promises - if he said he would do something, he always came through
Treating others always with utmost respect and kindness
Never giving up, always having faith, being optimistic no matter what
Having fun, laughing, bringing joy wherever he went
These lessons are the most valuable gifts he gave me in life. He was the (almost) perfect role model and I was so lucky he was my father. Growing up he always believed in #thislittlegirl, and told me he knew I could excel in whatever I wanted to. That has made all the difference in my life.
