District Manager Walko Called by Death Peter A. Walko, a District Manager of the William Penn Fraternal Association since September 1, 1956, died sud­denly in his home, 2018 Ver­mont Avenue, West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, in the early evening of October 10, 1961. He was 49 years old. He managed Branch 71, Du­­quesne, Pennsylvania, of which branch he was a member, and Branch 89, Homestead, Penn­sylvania. His record as a Wil­liam Penn field man was an outstanding one of fraternalism and production, and he was leading in sales at the time of his death. His personal charac­ter was above reproach. Mr. Walko was bom May 4, 1912 in Duquesne, the son of Mrs. Barbara Marez Walko and the late Peter Walko. An area resident all his life, he was a member of St. Ste­phen King Roman Catholic Church of McKeesport and its Holy Name Society. He was al­so a member of the Hungarian Club of Duquesne and the Du­­quesne-West Mifflin Branch of the Knights of Columbus. In addition to his mother, he leaves his wife, Mrs. Ann Poliak Walko; a daughter, Sandra Ann at home; a bro­ther, John of Duquesne; and two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Dudash of Bethel Park and Mrs. Do­rothy Rizzo of Glassport. Friends were received at the Leo A. Maloy Funeral Home, Duquesne. Services were held Saturday with a blessing at the funeral home and Requiem High Mass in St. Stephen King Church with the Rev. Ray­mond Novak officiating. Bu­rial followed in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Duquesne. Officers and employees of the William Penn Home Office and field associates and fel­low members paid their final respect to District Manager Walko, who was well-liked for his true Christian spirit and actions. At the obsequies Field Manager Elmer Charles acted as official representative of the William Penn Fraternal Asso­ciation. Two other field asso­ciates, Regional Manager Gus G. Nagy and District Manager Fred J. Stipkovits, were pall­bearers. We offer our sincere condol­ences to the survivors of our late brother, District Manager Peter A. Walko, faithful unto death as a member of the Wil­liam Penn Field Force.
