Walter Markowski Obituary

Walter Markowski, 88, peacefully completed his journey into heaven on Saturday, March 8th, 2014, with beloved family and friends by his side. Walt relocated to Loveland from the Philadelphia, PA area with his "better-half," Margaret, in June 2012 on their 63rd wedding anniversary. An avid outdoorsman, Walt always admired the "Colorado lifestyle" and quickly adapted to it when he and his wife moved in with his eldest daughter, Peggy Whitt. During his brief time in Loveland, Walt's favorite activities were trips to Rocky Mountain National Park, 9 am Mass at Saint John's with his wife Margaret, and Sunday brunch with his best friends and neighbors, Carol & Mike Wilcox. Walter is survived by his wife, Margaret "Shmoe", his children, Walt Markowski (Vickie) of Port Charlotte, FL, Peggy Whitt of Loveland, CO, Joanne DiRugeris (Ed) of Philadelphia, PA, and Dr. Bill Markowski (Terri) of Destin, FL. Another son, Michael, proceeded him in death. Walt is also survived by and extremely proud of his 6 grandchildren: Andre & Leilani Whitt, Kristy & Eddie DiRugeris, and Lauren & Jessica Markowski. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at Saint John's Catholic Church in Loveland on Friday, March 14th, 2014 at 10:00am. Memorial contributions may be made to the Colorado Flood Relief Fund in care of Kibbey Fishburn Funeral Home.
