Walter Baranski (1961, )
Walter R. Baranski Jr.
July 21, 1939-June 4, 2006

Walt Baranski (Oregon class of 1962) inspired all those he encountered with his relentless optimism in the face of a debilitating arthritic condition. Once a robust three-sport star at Hoover High in San Diego, and later a standout baseball player at the University of Oregon, Walt was confined to a wheelchair or golf cart for nearly 40 years, but he still tackled life with a smile, his booming voice and deep affection for his family and friends. He spent 31 years as a coach and teacher in San Diego, including 18 years at Patrick Henry High. During his time coaching JV football and basketball, and later varsity football, Walt developed an uncommon rapport with his student-athletes. “Those kids would do anything for Walt,” said LeRoy Dailey, who coached with Walt for six years. “Here’s a man who dealt with constant pain. The kids learned that no matter how hard things are, if you’re hurting or aching, you gotta keep battling. Quitting was never an option for Walt.” The image of Walt sitting in his golf cart, bellowing greetings to passing students and teachers, was reassuringly familiar to anyone who attended Henry in the 1970s and ‘80s. “He always had a smile,” said Dave Walker, class of ’79. “There was energy in his voice every time you saw him.” Among Walt’s abiding passions was his love for the Oregon Ducks – he followed the Ducks closely, and excitedly attended their Holiday Bowl appearances in 2000 and 2005. Survivors include Janice Baranski, Walt’s loving wife of nearly 41 years; their daughters, Candace and Stephanie; son-in-law Todd Bouchard; and grandchildren Nicole Bouchard and Sean Bouchard. A memorial service was held Saturday, June 10, in San Diego. Donations to the Walter Baranski Scholarship Fund, benefiting Patrick Henry students, can be sent c/o Ann Walker, P.O. Box 985, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92097.
