Ocean Pines

Walter “Walt” Povloski passed away peacefully at home in Ocean Pines with his family (including the dogs) by his side on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Clarence and Caroline Liptak Povloski, he was the oldest sibling of two sisters and one brother. Walt graduated from West Geauga High School, class of 1964, soon after entered The United States Marine Corps “Oorah”!

While stationed at NSA, he met the love of his life, Janice. Soon after moved to Linthicum where he and Janice raised their son and daughter until they moved to Ocean City in 1997. After serving his country, Walt entered an electrician apprenticeship then changed his career path by entering the Fire Academy where he heroically served his community for 25 years with the Anne Arundel County Fire Department.

A devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, brother in law, uncle, US Marine, firefighter, and friend, he will always be remembered as the life of the party, his jokes, making everyone around him laugh, being a prankster and always willing to help others; without hesitation. He enjoyed spending time with his family, friends, dogs and birds; cheering for the Ravens, Browns, Indians, Orioles, and O-HI-O State Buckeyes; cooking, duckpin bowling, flag football, coaching his kids sports teams, Hot Rods, his cup of coffee, Coors Light, Captain Morgan, and margaritas.

He is survived by his son and daughter, Christopher and Amy Povloski; sister-in-law, Judy Hoffman; grandchildren Pierce and Peyton Redmond; siblings Paula Heckman Povloski and Michael Povloski; and a number of nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Janice Hoffman Povloski and Sister JoAnn Povloski Gura.
