Walter Hauck Obituary

HAUCK--Walter S., Jr., of Stonington, CT died at the age of 22 Celsius leaving his wife Mable and son Walter III. Death resulted from terminal maturity and lung insufficiency due to a longtime tobacco addiction. A graduate of the Artillery Officer Candidate School, he earned degrees from Cornell, Montclair, and Kansas State. After brief forays in the corporate world, he became a teacher and then director of the New Jersey's GED program and adult high schools. He was a prolific author, writing clandestinely as Candice Byrd, Fred Feliner, Dominic Haire and other alter egos. His book, Skippy's Brave Adventures, an irreverent biography of George W. Bush, is in its second edition.

Walt, Judi and Family - I was absolutely saddened to hear of the passing of Walt. Although I had only met him several times, I have very fond memories of laughing out loud and bantering wildly to keep up with his sense of humor! He was a man who could make a person feel instantly at ease and welcome - a true gift. I am so sorry for your loss.

To the whole family,
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Haucks passing (and yes, he would tease me for calling him that). He was very kind to myself and my friends and was always making us laugh. He is remembered with many smiles and smart remarks. My heart goes out to all of you. Much love.

My wife and I offer our deepest sympathy on the loss of Walt. It was my pleasure to work with him daily during his tenure at Watchung Hills Regional and I always had the deepest respect for his humor and administrative style.He always talked about his wonderful wife and son and his love for Megan. Walt will be missed by myself but never forgotten.
