    Walter Heenan was born in New York City around 1906. In 1935, while on a weekend trip to Long Island, one of the cars of the group he was with got stuck in the sand. While helping to push it out on Monday morning, Walter felt ill. After returning to New York, he entered the hospital where, tragically, he died several days later at the age of 29 leaving his wife, Helen Clabby, with four small children.

    Helen Clabby Heenan, Maintained throughout her life that he died when his "heart pooped out of it's socket". Although no autopsy was preformed, his children suspect tuburculosis since they were all subjected to months of regular TB tests after his death. His death certificate confirms this.

    Although, little is known of Walter, and I have no known pictures, Tom Clabby related to me that his Father, Walter's Brother-in-law, always spoke very highly of him. He said they played the stock market together.

    According to Maryann Clabby Bialkoski, Walter's daughter, The family lived for a brief period in Philadelphia just prior to her birth where her father worked for NCR Corp.
