Walter Frederick Prince, Jr.
Walter F. Prince, Jr., a life-long resident of Malden, died on August 2, 2010 at his home in Malden, he was 71. Born on December 19, 1938 in Malden, he was the son of the late Walter F. Prince, Sr. and Dorothy E. (Tanish) Prince. Walter was raised and educated in Malden. He enlisted into the U.S. Air Force on December 11, 1959. He served 1 and half years while being stationed in both Okinawa and Alaska. At the time he was discharged on April 26, 1961, he had attained the rank of Air Man, 2nd Class. On May 8, 1965, he married his long-time love, Anne U. Carberry in St. Joseph’s Church in Somerville, MA. The couple settled in Malden to begin their family and life together. Walter was employed for over 16 years as a machinist with Palmer Manufacturing Co. in Malden. After his employment ended with the Palmer Co., Walter turned a talent into a career. He had a true skill for glass blowing. Walter went to work for Avon Place Glass in Cambridge where he worked for many years honing his craft. From April of 2010 through July, Walter had a solo exhibition of his work on display in the Sandwich Glass Museum in Sandwich, MA. He was extremely proud of this accomplishment. Known as a “Jack of all trades,” Walter was a fixer of anything. There was no problem he couldn’t solve. Walter single-handedly built his own summer home in Sweden, ME. He and his family summered there for many years until they sold the property that sat on the waterfront of Moose Pond. Through all his life accomplishments, Walter’s true passion was always his family, especially his beloved grandchildren. He enjoyed all the time he spent with them camping, fishing, whale-watching, and any other time he was blessed to spend with them. He absolutely cherished his grandchildren. Walter is survived by his wife Anne U. Prince of Malden, his sons, Walter F. Prince, III of Providence, RI and John Prince and his wife, Rachael, of Wakefield, his siblings, Elizabeth O'Brien of Melrose, Christine Hegarty of Malden, Joan Post of Florida, Martha Warren of Malden, Robert Prince of Florida, Margaret Broussard of New Hampshire, David Prince of Tennessee, and Linda Smith of NH, and his treasured grandchildren, Freya, Siobhan, and Ronan Prince, all of Wakefield. Walter is also survived by many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Walter was preceded in death by his sisters, Barbara Schulze and Dorothy White. A celebration of Walter’s life will be held in the Forestdale Community Church, 235 Forest Street, Malden on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 11 AM. Rev. Paul McPheeters, Pastor of the Forestdale Community Church will be officiating. Interment service will be held privately.
