Walter S. Wakefield

Portsmouth will not be the same without Walter. I am privileged to have been his friend and I will miss him dearly.

I knew Walter for over 20 years. He was a unique person who was always ready to share his insights and friendship.

Waltrr , I am reminded of an elderly antique dealer and her saying " We become those that were " . That was near 50 years past . You and I shared a passion for History , learning , being custodians of items awaiting a proper placement . You asked me to join you in your groups , however regrettable I always declined as people over whelmed me . We shared , traded , bought and sold . Sitting in front of the shop watching the world as it played out . We broke bread , sorted inventories , created memories , shared a few private thought and moments . Together we have met oppression independently struggle battles , overcome much , done civic minded obligations . ( whether for a city department or office ) . I am proud to have you as a friend . To the future , we will share our moments where we left off .
