Walter T. Hesse, 56, of Sebastian, Fl, passed away January 1, 2018. Born August 30, 1961 in Boonton, NJ, he was son of the late Walter and Bertha (Shipps) Hesse.  He is survived by his beloved wife, Elisa Hesse.

Walter and his parents moved from New Jersey to Lake Worth, FL where he attended and graduated from Lake Worth High School in 1980.

After high school Walter worked in the air conditioning business.  The last twenty-seven years he was employed by Smyth Air Conditioning of Lake Worth.  When he and his wife relocated to Sebastian, FL thirteen years ago, Walter opened and managed a new branch of Smyth Air serving Indian River and St. Lucie County.

While living in Lake Worth, Walter enjoyed playing racquetball and he competed in many local and national tournaments.  The national tournaments gave him, his wife and friends the opportunity to travel around the United States to several other states.

After moving to Sebastian, Walter became an avid NASCAR fan.  He and his fellow NASCAR buddies attended races in and outside of Florida.

Walter's greatest achievement was his desire and willingness to help others.  He shared his time, talent and treasure whenever, wherever he could.

He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
