William D. Walker

12/6/2019

William D. Walker of Warwick, NY, passed away with his loving wife by his side on December 6, 2019. He was 62 years old.

Born in Brooklyn, NY on August 13, 1957, William was the son of William J. and Ann K. (Burger) Walker.

He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps 1975-1979.

Bill was an FDNY Firefighter with Engine 201 and Squad 1. A great athlete and an avid sports fan, Bill coached Warwick Town soccer and softball. He was most proud of being a longtime coach for St. Stephen’s girls’ basketball. He was a devoted fan of the UConn Women’s basketball team, and instilled that same love of sports in his three daughters. A family statement reads, “William was a real ‘family man’ who loved his family, his country, the Fire Department and the Marines.”

Bill is survived by his “Darling Wife” of 36 years, Mary; three daughters, Eileen Heiny and her husband Major Patrick Heiny; Mary Kate Polifrone and her wife Kimberly, and Ann Jones and her husband Corbin; siblings: Daniel Walker, Ann Walker, Michael Walker, Maureen Seipp, and Dr. Colleen Rivers; and six grandchildren: Madeline, Clare, Patrick, Katherine, William and Ryan Ann.

Visitation will be on Sunday, December 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. and Monday, December 9 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at Lazear-Smith & Vander Plaat Memorial Home, 17 Oakland Avenue, Warwick, NY. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, December 10 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Stephen RC Church, 75 Sanfordville Road, Warwick, followed by interment at Orange County Veterans Cemetery, 111 Craigville Road, Goshen, NY 10924.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Walker's passing. He was my freshman basketball coach at Burke in 2003. I loved playing for him and Mr. Orengo that year, they were awesome coaches and taught me so much. It was great to see him every now and then in the years that followed as well. Sending prayers to the entire Walker family.

Mary - I don't have the words...other than to say I am so sorry and I will keep you in my prayers. I (all of us from the Marine Park/St. Columba crowd) had so many good times together. I have amazing memories of the "gang" and Billy was one of them. I'm so glad he had you and your family for the last 35 years...I know his life was full. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you shared together. Debbie
