May 11, 2023Salem - Walter Ernest Davis, 76, of Salem, NH passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH after a brief period of declining health.
Born on July 26, 1946, to Barbara Larcum (Stanley) and Ernest John Davis,
Walter was raised in Marblehead, MA and attended local schools, graduating from Marblehead High School in 1964. As a youth, Walter played baseball, golf and tennis, and would enjoy the company of friends, spending time on the water, boating around, water skiing, and sailing. Walter studied electrical engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA, receiving an Associate degree in 1966, and continued on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree at Southeastern Massachusetts University (now UMass Dartmouth) in 1970. Mid-career, Walter went on to earn a Master of Business Administration from Rivier College in Nashua, NH.
After completion of his undergraduate degrees, Walter was hired by General Electric, where he remained employed as an Electrical Engineer for 43 years, until his retirement in 2012. So well respected by his colleagues and customers as a brilliant engineer, in retirement, he started Davis Power System Consulting LLC, and worked a few more years on his own to satisfy the demand for his own specific industry talents. A common theme throughout his career was that, although a customer would contract GE for the work, the stipulation was really, "We want Walter to do the job."
Walter married his now former wife, Beth, in Fairhaven, MA, moved briefly to North Andover, MA, and finally settled in Windham, NH, where they lived together for more than 25 years, raising their two sons, Benjamin and Christopher, and where he was actively involved in coaching youth sports for many years. After a long marriage, Walter moved to Salem, NH in 1998, where he lived with his beloved beagle, Bull, and reconnected with his eventual longtime partner, Carolyn.
Walter was a lifelong skier, and enjoyed playing golf, coaching his sons' baseball and soccer teams, and tinkering up at his summer lake cottage in Alton Bay, NH. Walter was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox, and shared season tickets to Fenway Park for many years. Later in life, he enjoyed spending time with his two grandchildren, traveling with his longtime partner, Carolyn, and spending time researching his family's genealogy.
Walter is survived by his sons, Benjamin Walter Davis and his wife Melissa of Bow, NH, and Christopher Howland Davis of Raymond, NH; his longtime partner, Carolyn King of Billerica, MA; his grandchildren, Tyler Benjamin Davis and Stella Diozzi Davis; his former wife, Beth Howland Davis of Windham, NH; his sister, Nadine Lunt of Port Charlotte, FL; as well his nephews, Jason, Jonathan, and Matthew Lunt.
