Walter Ness ’39
We’re deeply saddened to report the peaceful passing in his sleep of Walter Ness ‘39, age 102, last Thursday, December 8th. Walter was our oldest known alumnus and attended every Homecoming, most recently in spring 2022. Walter, who celebrated his 102nd birthday on Thanksgiving, was living on his own and still driving up to the end. When he turned 100, Walter received three WWII service medals that were 75 years overdue. To celebrate his 100th birthday, his town declared a Walter Ness Day.
Walter’s family is generously directing donations in his memory to the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation. (Indicate Walter Ness ‘39 in the tribute line).
Rest in Peace, Walter.
