From the May 8, 2021, PaHomePage site by Madonna Mantione.
The legacy of Walter Pasiak will live on in a local Scranton neighborhood on a sign near the Breck Street home where he lived. He was the last-known Pearl Harbor survivor from Lackawanna County.
What was Rosin Court is now "Master Sergeant Walter A. Pasiak Lame." A ceremony was held with many family members, dignitaries and the Marine Corps.
Among his many awards from the war are a Bronze Star, Silver Star and a Purple Heart.
He lost his life in January to COVID-19 and would have been 99 years old today.
