About Walter: Walter was an only child of Elizabeth (Betty) and Walter Clevenberg. He was born with a wine colored birthmark on the left side of his face. This caused him great difficulty as a child, as children can be cruel. However, he rose above this and became a strong, gentle loving man, husband of Margaret (Peggy), who was the love of his life and father to Jane, Jim, Sue, Patty and Liz. He loved boating and had a great skill for working on cars which he turned into a lucrative business, Walt's Auto Repair on Webster Avenue in Bronx, NY. more... less...

Walter's Memories

This man was my father. He had a great gift of teaching us, his children - sometimes using a yellow legal pad to draw diagrams, maps, etc; other times just imparting his wisdom. He taught us to always be grateful for our siblings, as he had grown up alone. He taught us how to navigate a boat, analyze the stars and drive a car. He worked long hours, but always took the time to tuck us in bed when he came home at night. I remember times we would hear his truck roll into the driveway and we would all rush out to grab hold of his leg because we loved him so much!
