Walter J. Szmyt

Walter J. Szmyt, a resident of Woburn and formerly longtime of Saugus, passed away peacefully at Windrose at Woburn on Tuesday, December 26, 2017, at age 68.

Born in Winthrop on May 26, 1949, Walter was one of four children raised in East Boston. He graduated from East Boston High School and from Northeastern University with a degree in business. Settling in Saugus in 1978, Walter was employed as Senior Accountant for the Boston Public Schools. He worked with the Boston Public Schools for many years implementing the budget for the entire school system.

Walter was a quiet, reserved man who always took good care of himself. He was always active whether jogging or skiing in his younger years. He enjoyed watching the Boston sports teams, doing yard work, and spending time with the family. He was also a longtime member of the Andover Sportsman Club.

Walter endeared himself to many with his big, easy smile and affable nature. He will be missed but always lovingly remembered.
