Walt.  My  Army friend (Berlin, Germany), one of the nicest human beings I ever met.  Heaven has another angel.

Life will not be the same without Walter here. 
He was a sainted person who was greatly respected by all. One of the funniest & dearest people we knew. Heaven has gained another Saint and we lost a good & Godly man. 
Heartbreaking indeed. Our love & condolences to Maureen and their children & family. 
Walter, until we meet again......

I will miss Walt terribly.
He not only was a great friend but he was a mentor to me .
The good lord has received a great man.

Never knew Walter, but as a member of Esboces I send my condolences to his family and I will pray for him and his loved ones.

Over the many years, as a CTE teacher at Gary D. Bixhorn Technical Center, I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Mr. Denzler and he always expressed such a deep interest in what our students were doing and followed through by supporting them in so many ways. On those celebratory occasions where students or staff were honored for achievements that previous year, he made time to congratulate each person, making them feel they were truly appreciated. His dedication will continue to inspire others and he will be missed. God Bless.

Wishing you and your family peace and comfort in the coming days.

Mr. Denzler thank you not only for your dedication to the staff and students at Little Flower, but also for  being so compassionate to my family.  The White family sends their deepest condolences.

I was honored to know Walter in two capacities: through his leadership of the Little Flower Board of Education and through our church, St. James.  On the Board of Education he was a principled and determined leader, fully focused on improving the outcomes for our students.  I admired him and tried to emulate his leadership.  As we got to know each other well, I appreciated his mentoring and friendship.  At church, I always enjoyed seeing him to say hello, but my fondest memory is how much he loved inviting Ronan Tynan to St. James each year.  Two years ago, he wore something fancy - an elf outfit - in celebration (this year it was back to a tux).  It was a privilege to watch their friendship.  This is a true loss for our whole community.  My deep sympathy to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Denzler's passing.  Thank you for all you did for the students and staff at Little Flower School.  You will be greatly missed but not forgotten.  

Walter was such a gentleman! Last July he offered me a ride with he and Maureen for the trip to our nursing school reunion so I didn’t have to drive alone. Although he was weakened from his long struggle with cancer he insisted on lifting the bags and opening doors. He loved the outdoors and sat in the hot sun soaking up the sun while we nurses worried about him. There were still trips he was organizing , he was alive and embracing life. Time to rest now Walter, our honoree classmate.

Walter has served on the Little Flower School Board for as long as I have worked at Little Flower School District. I respect Walters dedication to the staff and students at Little Flower School . I always enjoyed talking to Walter about The School along with outside things like history of Three Village -Port Jefferson area. Walter will surely be missed by all. Thank You Walter.

It’s hard to capture the “essence” of someone like Walter in a few words. Let me say, “he was a genuine force to be reckoned with”. Walter did everything with conviction, passion and integrity. He was not afraid to voice his opinion (whether you agreed or not).

  More importantly, these characteristics carried over in his role as the Board of Education President for the Little Flower Union Free School District.  Over the years, he never wavered in his desire to provide for the needs of the district, students and staff. 
His leadership and friendship will be greatly missed.

I would like to thank Walter for his tireless efforts to improving Education on Long Island as a leader on both the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Board and as President of the Little Flower Board of Education.  Walter, thank you for your friendship, you will be missed.

I served with Walter on the Board of Education for Little Flower School District for fifteen years. His competence, dedication, and personable leadership lifted the spirit and performance of all of us. He has my complete admiration and respect.
We will miss you, Walter.

Walter was the consummate professional throughout his many years of leadership as a board of education member and president. I have never heard a bad story about Walter, never a negative word spoken, and in my two years of leading Little Flower with him, he truly proved to be a wonderful person through and through. President Denzler, you will be missed by many.
