(Asbury Park Press)
WALTER H. SKEA
AGE: 80 FORMERLY OF JERSEY CITY AND TINTON FALLS
Walter H. Skea, 80, died peacefully at his home in Clearwater, Fla. on Thursday, Nov. 6. Walter was born in the Bronx, N.Y. on March 11, 1928 to the late Walter H. Skea, Sr. and Mary Dowling Skea. He attended St. Nicholas Tolentine School, Cardinal Hayes High School and Manhattan College. In June 1946, he entered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, serving overseas as a Specialist 5th Grade Topographical Surveyor during the Korean Occupation from 1946-47, when he was honorably discharged. In 1954, Walter moved to Jersey City where he was very involved in Saint Aloysius Parish as a lector, was president of the Holy Name Society and active in the Knights of Columbus. Walter’s career as an estimating engineer spanned 43 years and concluded in 1993, when he retired from Crow Construction of NYC as their VP and manager of its estimating department. In 1990, he moved to Tinton Falls and then retired with his wife in 2000 to Dunedin and later Clearwater, Fla. Walt was a fun-loving, kind spirited, good man who measured his success in life based upon the successes of those whom he most loved–his family. We will all miss him.
