Walter Black's Obituary
Black, Walter. Walter Black, age 87, of Boca Raton, Florida, who lived a full and inspiring life, died peacefully at home on December 3, 2022. Walter was born on August 8, 1935 in Queens, New York to Esther and Paul Black. He graduated from Jamaica high school, attended New York University and received a JD at Cornell Law School. Walter was a generous, kind person and all-around mensch. He was an avid supporter of the arts—from the New York State Opera in Lincoln Center to Tanglewood in the Berkshires. Walter served in the Army Reserves in the 1950’s and ’60’s, and ran a successful law practice in Great Neck, New York. He is survived by his wife Hildi of 60 wonderful years, children Alyssa, Andra and Wendi, grandchildren Jacob, Owen and Jade and his brother and sister-in-law Jerry and Joyce Black. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Walter’s name to any charity close to your heart. We will miss his laugh, wisdom and generosity of spirit.
