Walter Hawkins Veterans Memorial Park - Osteen, FLI. - Donated Engraved Bricks and Pavers on Waymarking.com

Walter Hawkins, a veteran of World War I, was an Osteen attorney who worked to create a memorial park to veterans. From what I can piece together, the memorial at Walter Hawkins Veterans Memorial Park originated as strictly a monument honoring WWI veterans in the 1920s. Attorney Hawkins worked to create a park around the memorial and achieved his goal when the Volusia County Commission passed his resolution on April 18, 1957. Sadly, Attorney Hawkins passed away in September 1957 but his legacy lives on.

This brick walkway surrounds the flagpole which is in front of the original memorial. I chose the name Nicholas Pfeifauf as the brick I focused on and found his obituary at (visit link) . Nicholas came to Sanford when he was in the US Navy, served in the Korean War. He returned to Sanford and remained there the rest of his life. He passed away December 9, 2009.
