Walter Richard 'Skip" Storz

Walter R. “Skip” Storz, 89, of Massillon, our beloved dad, grandpa and great-grandpa, passed away quietly, on Saturday afternoon, December 12, 2020, just four days before his ninetieth birthday.  Born in Massillon, a son to the late Karl and Alberta (Myers) Storz, Skip graduated from Washing ton High School with the Class of 1948.  He served honorably in the US Air Force during the Korean Conflict and after returning to Massillon, he worked as a milkman for Reiter Dairy.  He was also a licensed insurance agent for American General Life Insurance Co.  An excellent athlete, Skip loved all sports, especially baseball and golf.  Throughout his entire life he remained a dedicated fan of Tiger Football and in fact, for several years during the late ‘60’s and into the ‘70’s, he scouted Tiger opponents in advance of upcoming games.

A life-member of St. John’s United Church of Christ in Massillon, he served his faith community as a deacon and usher.

Preceded in death by his parents; and daughters, Karen Storz Morris and Susan Storz Cunningham; Skip is survived by his daughter, Lynn M. (Bill) Dolan, of Massillon; grandchildren, Bryan (Victoria) Dolan, of Canton, Allie Dolan, of Columbus, Leslie (Andrew) Thomas, of Charlotte, North Carolina, Michelle (Mark) Towns, of Nashville, Tennessee and Jamie Rose, of San Diego, California.  Also surviving are four great-grandchildren; his son-in-law, Gary Cunningham, also of Nashville; and his former wife, Marilyn Storz, of Massillon.

Family and friends will gather for a private funeral service followed by burial at Brookfield Cemetery on Monday, December 21, 2020.  The family also extends heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to the staff of The Laurels of Massillon and the Aultman Cancer Center for the excellent care that Skip received.  Arrangements have been entrusted to Atkinson Feucht Hare Funeral Home in Massillon.  Your memories and condolences are always welcome and may be added to our on-line guestbook at, www.atkinsonfeucht.com.
