Walter Wulz

Walter Wulz 11.22.1946—10.31.2024 Walter Alois Wulz, age 77, passed away on October 31st, 2024, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him. Walter was a devoted husband, father, and “Opa,” whose laughter filled rooms and whose passion for storytelling inspired everyone around him. Born on November 22, 1946 in Sankt Veit an der Glan, Austria, Walter carried his heritage proudly throughout his life, sharing stories of his homeland and its traditions. He grew up in Althofen, where he served as an altar boy in his early years, and later earned his masters degree in technical studies. In 1974, Walter immigrated to the United States, where he began his career as an engineer with Werner & Pfleiderer Corporation, eventually settling in Ramsey, NJ. He was married in 1984 to his wife of 40 years, Christine Wulz. During his time in Ramsey, Walter became a beloved figure in his Church Street community. Known for hosting get-togethers, organizing neighborhood trips to Lake George, and earning the honorary title of “Mayor,” he brought people together and created a sense of family among neighbors. As a proud father to Alexander and Stephanie, Walter relished spending time with his family, cooking meals, and enjoying walks through the Ramapo Mountains with his dog, Diesel. In 2017, Walter and Christine moved to Elmsford, NY, where he spent his final years visiting loved ones in Atlanta and Brooklyn, reading books, and enjoying German television. Walter’s warmth and humor left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Walter is survived by his loving wife, Christine Wulz; his children, Alex (and Christy) Wulz and Steph Wulz (and Jarrett Floyd); and his four adored granddaughters. His family and friends will carry forward the joy he brought to their lives. A Funeral Mass to honor Walter’s life will be held on Friday, November 8, 2024, at 10:30 AM at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church in Ramsey, NJ, with a visitation prior to the Mass from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at the church. Following the Funeral Mass, a gathering will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Ramsey, where friends and family are invited to share their fondest memories and celebrate Walter’s life. In lieu of flowers, Christine has requested that remembrances be made in Walter’s name to Abundant Mercy Orphanage, a Kenyan orphanage they have supported over the years. https://abundantmercyorphanage.org/donate
