He was born on December 31, 1920, the son of the late Paul and Anna (Petrowski) Murkowicz. Walter proudly served our country in World War II. He was employed with Hamilton Standard in Windsor Locks for many years and later by Taylor and Fenn of Windsor. Walter was a faithful parishioner of St. Mary's Church, and later he began attending St. Robert Church in Windsor Locks. He enjoyed many Sunday walks to church along with his family.
