OBITUARY Walter Joseph Leszczynski passed away on April 2, 2020. He was 66.
Walter is survived by his children – Andrea Leszczynski, Daniel Leszczynski and his wife Barbara Saber-Leszczynski and his sisters, Irene Kolodziej, Donna Rogawska and Grace Visconti and many nieces and nephews.
Walter was reunited with his beloved wife, Elizabeth and parents Marianna and Wladyslaw in Heaven.
A generous, witty and devoted family man, Walter enjoyed life and the people that were close to him. Very social, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and was always willing to help or put a smile on someone’s face. He was incredibly proud of his wife and children and his Polish heritage.
Walter immigrated to the United States as a child from Poland. He graduated from William E. Grady High School in Brooklyn. He was a successful closet and storage design business owner for over 25 years in Floral Park.
Walter was a dedicated Catholic and attended Mass faithfully at St. Hedwig’s Church.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a memorial service for Walter will be scheduled at a later date.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
Dear Family, We are neighbors of Walter for as long as he lived here. He introduced us to the Chemeris family many years ago. We remember Walter as a friendly man with a sense of humor, intelligent and always cheerful. I used to talk to Walter every day, either on my way or back from my walk to work. Sometimes when I walked Lola she would run up the driveway to see Walter for a pet. I will miss our many chats and my husband as well. God bless you Walter!

My deepest condolences, my heart is broken from the thought of Włodek not being here with us. Thinking about our memories when myself and Włodek were in Poland traveling from the mountains to the Baltic Sea. When Włodek was 18 and I was 20 we saw the village and home Włodeks parents Marianna and Władek were raised in. We had some great adventures together.
Sending our deepest condolences. Włodek was loved by all who knew him. He never failed to put a smile on everyones face. May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy extended to the Leszcynski family. I am a neighbor of Walters that was taken by surprise and deeply saddened by this tragic loss. Walter over the last 6 years and become a extended branch of my family and I would always look up and share many conversations with him from his deck. I looked up to Walter and loved the man and will miss the snowball fights between Walter and my 8year old. Out of my love and respect for Walter if there is anything that I might ever be able to do for the family please do not hesitate to ask it of me.
