Walter Kenneth Brock Jr.

Walter Kenneth Brock was born and raised in Brooklyn,

New York, where he spent his formative years with his

admiring younger brother, and his adoring mother.

From an early age, Walter displayed a strength of

character, a keen sense of responsibility, and a natural

leadership quality that would serve him well

throughout his life.

It was during his childhood that he developed his

lifelong love of the game of baseball, thanks to his

beloved neighborhood team, the legendary Brooklyn

Dodgers. During his teen years, Walter discovered his

affinity for marksmanship, that would later become an

enduring passion for both target shooting and game

hunting.

As an adult, Walter immersed himself in the world of

􀃸ight and aeronautics, becoming an accomplished

pilot along the way. In business, Walter found great

success in the corporate printing world of New York

City, where he built an impressive career, and made

many close friends. He nurtured his love for the

outdoors by spending weekends at his rural home in

upstate New York, where he also adopted and raised

his prized wild cat, Misty. Later in his life, Walter was

introduced to Joan Capozzoli (Tantillo) who would

become his devoted wife and the love of his life. They

would eventually retire and settle in Prescott, Arizona,

where they built their dream home, and spent

memorable holidays and gatherings with friends and

family.

Walter experienced some of the greatest joys of his life

in Prescott; from his early activity in the softball league,

to lunches with the “hockey crew,” and seasonal

hunting with close friends. He was an engaged and

supportive Grandfather to his grandsons Leo and

Rocco; keeping up with countless FaceTime calls,

watching endless hours of The Three Stooges, making

laughter-􀃶lled memories playing bingo, Pictionary,

blackjack, & poker, and teaching them patience and

persistence through the 􀃶ne art of 􀃶shing. Walter also

made an eternal impact on the lives of his dear

nephews, taking great pride in all of their

accomplishments and their patriotism.

Walter will always be remembered as a loyal friend, a

dedicated husband, and a loving stepfather,

grandfather, and uncle. He is survived by his

stepchildren; Christopher Tantillo, James Tantillo & wife

Linda Tantillo, John Tantillo & wife Megan Tantillo, his

grandchildren; Isaac Koizume, Leonardo Tantillo &

Rocco Tantillo, and nephews; Michael Brock & wife

Aryanna Brock, Robert Brock, and his grand nieces;

Adelina Brock, and McKenna Brock.
