Walter Joseph Bieniek, Jr.,59, of Peterborough, died unexpectedly on Jan­uary 7, 2016 at his home after a sudden illness. He was born in Manchester, NH on November 27, 1956, the son of Walter Joseph Bieniek Sr. and Helen (Zemo­ciak) Bieniek.

Walter grew up in Milford, NH and attended lo­cal schools there. After marrying his wife, Denise (Denette) Bienek in 1978 they stayed in Mil­ford for another ten years before moving to Green­field where they contin­ued to raise their five sons. In 2003 they moved to Peterborough, where they have resided since.

Walter loved cars. He especially loved fast cars and over the years drove Mustangs, Miatas, and most recently a red Cor­vette and he would spend hours washing and tin­kering with them. Walter also loved to travel. He enjoyed the business trips that brought him to the west coast and the mid-west and he looked for­ward to the cruises that he and Denise embarked on when they could.

Above all, Walter was a proud family man. He loved his family dearly and cherished the time spent with his wife and his sons.
