Walter A. Radomski Sr.

Walter A. Radomski, Sr., 88, of Manville, NJ, passed away peacefully at home on August 15, 2026, with his loving family at his side. Walter was born in and lived his entire life in Manville, New Jersey. He graduated from St. Peter’s High School and completed various advanced educational programs in support of his design career. It was during his high school years that he met the love of his life, Connie. They went on to marry and share 53 wonderful years together before her passing in 2013. Together, they built a life centered around their family and raised six children. He was also blessed with eleven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, all of whom he cherished dearly. Walter was employed by Johns Manville Corporation as a draftsman and designer for over 30 years. One of the many projects he worked on during his tenure included the designs for the thermal insulation packages for NASA’s early lunar modules. He was a proud and active member of the Johns Manville Quarter Century Club, recognizing his many years of dedication and service to the company. Following the closure of the Johns Manville plant, he continued his career at Ardell Corp. and Cardan Design, where he worked until his retirement. Walter was loved by his entire family and dear friends. He greatly enjoyed celebrating family traditions, most importantly hosting Christmas Eve dinner every year with his extended family. In his younger years, he was an avid fisherman and continued to spend time out on the boat throughout his retirement with his kids and grandkids on many fishing excursions in search of “doormats.” He loved taking trips to the local casinos and looked forward to his daily visits to the neighborhood corner store, chatting with friends and buying his scratch-off tickets. In recent years, he especially enjoyed taking cruises with his children and his brothers and their wives. Many family dinners were spent with a Stella Artois in hand at his favorite restaurant, Pizza and Pasta, making memories and enjoying time together with the people he loved most. Walter was predeceased by his parents, Felix and Amelia (Rogozinski) Radomski; his wife, Constance Radomski; his brothers, Rev. Joseph Radomski and Stanley Radomski; and his son, Walter Radomski, Jr. He is survived by his children, Valerie Sapirman (spouse Jay) of Center Valley, PA; Mary Williams-Knode (spouse Scott) of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL; Christine Kershaw (spouse Robert) of Flemington, NJ; Annette Waters (spouse Charles) of Forked River, NJ; and Laura Findley (spouse Glenn) of Hillsborough, NJ; his daughter-in-law, Kathleen Radomski of Forked River, NJ; his brother, Anthony Radomski, and his wife, Arlene, of Venice, FL; his sister-in-law, Dorothy Radomski of Ewing, NJ; his grandchildren, Matthew, Travis (spouse Amelia), Chelsea (spouse SeQuoia), Amelia (spouse Patience), Laura (spouse Brian), Jessica, Emily, Mason, Quinn, Adam, and Drew (spouse Lorynn); and his great-grandchild, Savannah. Walter will be remembered as a strong, loving, and caring father and will remain an inspiration to his children forever.
