Walter F. Scott Jr. of Acton, Maine March 25, 1940 – September 16, 2026
Walter, the loving husband of Rosemarie Thomas Scott, went home to be with the Lord, following a period of declining health.
Born in Revere MA, he was the eldest son of Walter Scott Sr and Mary Mallio Scott. His younger brothers were Robert, John and Richard.
He moved to Acton ME in 1969, where he resided for 57 years.
His nickname was Scotty to some and Skip to others. Regardless of the nickname, he was adored by all who knew him.
Well known for his entertaining one-liners and readiness to strike up a conversation with total strangers, he always had a smile on his face and loved to tell stories about the old days.
Scotty was employed at Spaulding Fiber in Rochester NH for 30 years, where he worked his way up from a machine operator to plant manager.
He was the father of Joseph, Bradley, Walter III, Jill and Julie. He also leaves behind 18 grandchildren – Joseph, Juliana, Emily, Jacob, Alec, Jedidiah, Walter IV, Molly, Jesse, Josiah, Jack, Josie, Adeline, Tony, Vinny, Nico, Theo and Rosalie, as well as five great grandchildren – Violet, Beau, Hazel, Roger and Charlie.
Skip loved his family and would do anything for them. He had an iron clad memory, and even in his later years, prided himself in reciting all of his grandchildren’s names and dates of birth. The grandkids always lit up when he was around and enjoyed repeating his witty sayings.
Scotty’s passing leaves a hole in the lives of many, but comfort is taken in knowing that they’ll see him again one day in heaven.
You will be missed more by us then you realize…
Love,
The Wakita Family
There was 13 years age difference between me and him and was a great big brother to me and will miss him. I will miss the long phone calls we had some would an hour or 2. Rest peacefully until we meet again.
In a small town you get to know whole families and you interact with them on many different levels. the Scott family has been in my life since my childhood, crossing in and out on many different levels. the loss of this wonderful caring man has left a deep hole we all feel. my sympathy and prayers are with each and every one of his family. its so hard to lose, grief can be unbearable, but hope springs eternal. He will be missed so much, so we weep but laugh cause we may suffer but hes sleeping in the arms of Jesus and Jesus willcomfort us. May you, “Rose” hold on to the comfort of the lord for he is with you, all of you.
