LIEWER, Walter W.,
At the beginning of World War II, Mr. Liewer enlisted in the Army Air Corps and was transferred from the Midwest to Moffet Field in 1939. While stationed at Moffet, he met and married Lucille Bleibler Baxter, a member of one of Los Altos’ original founding families. The couple was married in December 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Last December, they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
Following war service with the 55th Fighter Squadron stationed at McCord Field, Washington, Mr. Liewer joined his wife at the present Cherry Avenue home. Trained in aircraft mechanics, he became a member of the fledgling NACA Space Group in 1945, where he worked on airplanes and “crew chiefed” them. Later, when NASA was born, he participated in wind tunnel experiments and served as a liaison between NASA and Ames Laboratory until his retirement in 1972.
Liewer had an affinity for working with his hands, and was extremely proud of the summer home he built at South Lake Tahoe for the enjoyment of his family and friends. His other great loves included watching his favorite baseball and football teams: the San Francisco Giants, 49ers, and Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Above all, a loving family man, he gladly served as second-in-command, taking care of the children when his wife worked on numerous volunteer activities including two terms on the Los Altos School Board. Mr. Liewer is survived by his wife, Lucille Liewer; son, Richard; daughter, Marilou; grandchildren, Jeremy and Nicholas Liewer and Alden and Patricia Swanton; brother, Dr. John Liewer; and sister, Helen Liewer.
Services were held Friday, November 8 at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Los Altos. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers that remembrances be donated to St. Nicholas Catholic Church, 473 Lincoln Avenue, Los Altos 94022.
