Shared note | Walter Bondarchuk Longtime Greenport resident Walter Bondarchuk of Beaufort, N.C., died at Carteret General Hospital in Morehead City, N.C., on Nov. 28. He was 79. Mr. Bondarchuk lived in Greenport for 57 years and in Beaufort for the last 20. He made such an impression on his adopted community that Beaufort's newspaper, The Gam, devoted its Dec. 4 editorial to a eulogy to him, saying, among other things: "Walter Bondarchuk could have been the Jimmy Stewart character in 'It's a Wonderful Life.' This one man impacted the lives of so many people in ways both large and small without ever realizing it." A reader wrote that Mr. Bondarchuk was "her personal hero" for being such a spirited, caring human being. His grandson, Shane Third, wrote, "I lost the wisest and most giving man I've ever known." Mr. Bondarchuk served as a bomber ball gunner in the Army Air Corps during World War II, completing 26 missions over Europe and earning a Purple Heart, the Air Medal, the Eagle Medal and five bronze stars. After the war, he served in the Southold Police Department for 27 years. He was a member of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and Military Order of the Purple Heart. The son of John and Jennie Bondarchuk, he was born in Chester, Pa., on July 28, 1924. Among his other interests and activities, Mr. Bondarchuk and his wife, Blanche, maintained the Bondarchuk World War II Collection, an extensive archive on the war. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Pamela Third of Beaufort; three sons, Walter Jr., of Texarkana, Texas, Jerry, of Morehead City, and Stephen, of New Suffolk; six brothers, James and Peter, both of Essington, Pa., John and Connie, both of Orient, Harry, of Greenport, and Alexander, of Southold; a sister, Helen Keller of Springfield, Pa.; and seven grandchildren. Services took place in North Carolina. |
