Walter Brenner

Walter Brenner, a lifelong resident of Montgomery, died September 5, 2016 at the age of 86. Funeral services will be held Thursday September 8, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at Leak Memory Chapel Funeral Home, with visitation beginning one hour prior to the service. Burial services will follow in Greenwood Cemetery.

Walter was a proud 1951 graduate of the University of Alabama and a member of the Kappa Nu fraternity. After serving in the 7th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army in Korea during the Korean War, he joined Montgomery Shoe Factory / Brenner’s, his family’s shoe repair and luggage business, where he cheerfully greeted customers for over 50 years. Walter was a devoted son, father, husband and friend who was friendly, thoughtful and kind all his life.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Reba and Sam Brenner; his Uncle Julius Brenner; two beloved wives, Barbara and Helene Brenner; and his son David Brenner. He is survived by his sons, Irving Brenner (Teresa) and Jeffrey Brenner (Joseph); grandchildren Rebecca and Nathan Brenner; his step-children/grandchildren Jon Sundock (Stephanie, Ben and Sophie) and Melissa Sundock Strane (Chris, Sam and Katie) and numerous cousins. He will also be missed by a large community of friends.

Outside of his family and friends, Walter’s two loves were his synagogue, Agudath Israel (President 1983-85), and dogs of all breeds. So, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Agudath Israel Synagogue or the Montgomery Humane Society. On line condolences may be made at www.Leak-MC.com
