Walter Triebel

Walter A. Triebel, age 78, of Packanack Lake in Wayne, NJ, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 while his loving family was by his side.

Walter was born in Newark, NJ and raised in Union, NJ, the second son of Adolf and Marie (Seidman) Triebel.

After graduating from Union High School, Walter attended Fairleigh Dickinson University where he received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering cum laude in 1969. He completed his education in 1972 earning his master’s degree in electrical engineering at New York University.

The predominance of Walter’s career was with Intel Corporation where he rose to the rank of Senior Field Engineer. He also served for fifteen years as an adjunct professor at his alma mater Fairleigh Dickinson University at the Teaneck campus, and he was a published author of more than twenty college text and reference books on digital electronics and computer technology.

A huge Yankees fan and an all-around fan of baseball, Walt and his brother Bob managed to visit all the major league baseball stadiums throughout the country and his love of minor league baseball was legendary. As an avocation, he was a freelance sports writer covering both major and particularly minor league baseball. Interestingly enough, he also authored a trade book titled “Road-Tripping the South Atlantic League: A Guide to Teams, Ballparks, and Cities.”

Walter truly enjoyed being a resident of Packanack Lake, where he often played tennis with friends. He was also an avid snow skier, who loved the thrills of down-hilling at Killington and Stratton in Vermont. Both skiing and going to baseball games were special times he spent with his daughter Lindsey. He spent time in North Carolina, during his later years, with friends.

Walter was the loving father of Lindsey Triebel of Wayne NJ; dear brother of Robert Triebel of Newton NJ; loving uncle of: Erika Schudde of Monroe NY, Christopher Triebel of Boscawen NH, and Russell Triebel of Little Egg Harbor NJ; and dear cousin of: Arthur Sedmont of Smyrna DE, Roger Sedmont of Turnersville NJ, Myriam Walther and Ursula Tautz and her children Gabi and Andy of Germany.In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Walter’s name are asked to consider:
