Walter M. Pyzocha

August 18th, 1946 - August 13th, 2024

Ludlow- Walter M. Pyzocha passed away peacefully on August 13, 2024, only a few days shy of his 78th birthday. Born on August 18, 1946, in Ludlow, MA, Walter led a life marked by dedication to his family, service to his country, and a passion for the great outdoors.

Walter was a proud Vietnam War veteran who displayed his patriotism and work ethic throughout his life. After serving his country, he pursued a fulfilling career ending at Smurfit Westrock, from which he retired after many years.

Walter is survived by his loving wife of almost 50 years, Bonnie (Huff) Pyzocha, and his cherished family who meant the world to him. This includes his daughter, Pamela Pyzocha; his son, Kevin Pyzocha and his wife Kelly; and his grandson, Kevin Jr., affectionately known as "Mr. KJ". Walter also leaves behind his brothers, Ernest and wife Lynda, Stan and partner Marie, Roger and wife Chrissy, and Kenny and wife Jacqui, all of whom shared in his life's journey. He also leaves many nieces and nephews.Walter had a deep love for hunting and fishing, especially when accompanied by his favorite grandson, Mr. KJ. As a talented carpenter and woodworker, Walter could fix and build just about anything, fulfilling his role as the master fixer. His love for travel took him on many adventures, and he was a devoted fan of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots.

In keeping with the family’s wishes, services for Walter will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Shriner's Hospital, reflecting Walter's generous spirit and his commitment to helping others.Walter will be remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and the genuine love he spread to all those he met.

Ken Pyzocha

A son, a brother, a husband, a father, a Dziadziu, and a friend to many. All the things Walt was good at, all the things we will miss. The Pyzocha Family, and many others, deeply mourn the loss of this guy. However, we get to keep and treasure ALL the memories, all the crazy hunting and fishing stories, all the brotherly razzing, (there was always one or two or three or four against one in the most fun way), all the helping of each other, all the holidays, and all the love that a family could hold surrounded Walt. We will miss your visits to New Hampshire - Rest in peace dear brother along with all who went before you, until we meet again... Love, Ken and Jacqui
