Walter J. Faix, 90

Walter J. Faix of Barberton passed away on March 7^th, 2025, a few weeks after celebrating his 90^th birthday. Walt was a tall, handsome man who retired from B&W after 36 years of distinguished service. As a boy he was an acclaimed pitcher and a skilled artist who won an award from the local paper. He served in the army in Korea and was a lifelong fan of Ohio sports teams (Go Indians! Go Buckeyes!), and a member of the Barberton Hungarian Club. Walt had a curious mind and loved airplanes, music and road trips. He was a good golfer and a pretty decent bowler as well. Walt was known and appreciated for his stories, his sense of humor, his beautiful skin and his extensive list of people he rightfully wanted to sue. He was kind and generous to his friends and family and to everyone who knew him. He is survived by his sister Dorothy Stack of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, numerous nieces and nephews, and his stepdaughter Tammy Mantz of Colorado. Walter will rest in well-earned peace at the Western Reserve National Cemetery.
