Longtime PV business man Walter Stark dies

Memorial services will be Tuesday

Walter Stark, a longtime business man in Pauls Valley and Kiwanis Club leader, died Wednesday evening. He was 80.

Stark owned and operated Stark Insurance since 1957 when he and his family moved to Pauls Valley.

He was in Kiwanis for 52 years and served as Kiwanis International Lieutenant Governor and Kiwanis President. He was an active civic leader, always there when anything needed to be done from flipping pancakes to popping popcorn for 4th of July Festivities.

A World War II Navy veteran, Stark also was a rancher, insurance agent and architect.

He was also the inspiration for the cartoon character “Geezer” which was created by his son, Kevin. The strip appears daily in the Democrat.

Memorial services will be held Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 10:30 a. m. at Stufflebean Chapel.
