A loss for our Framingham family

Dear Friends,

We lost a very important member of our Framingham family today. The man who
made us laugh, scratch our heads and at times exasperated us, passed away
suddenly from a heart attack this morning.

Walter Siggins was one of a kind. A family man who actually did like his
mother-in-law despite his many humorous posts to the contrary; a sports fan
who enjoyed our youth athletes more than the pros in the best sports city in
the world; and a follower of local politics who cared deeply about the
community he grew up in.

Walter was a very kind man who would do anything to help friends and
strangers alike. And people on these email lists know Walter had a great
sense of humor.

He has entertained all of us for years and was a full participant in our
wonderful community for his entire life. It's very unfortunate that he won't
have the chance to realize his life's dream of serving as Harbormaster for
the new City of Framingham.

Arrangements are not yet finalized. They are under the care of the McCarthy,
McKinney and Lawler Funeral home in Framingham. www.mccarthyfh.com

Suze Craighead and Cheryl Tully Stoll

Oh wow. I'm more f a lurker here but I enjoyed reading his emails. I am sorry
to hear this.

Thank you for letting us know. This is just tremendously sad and my heart goes
out to his wife and family. He was just so funny and a character and seemed
like such a larger than life person. A reminder that life is precious and
short. Hug your loved ones. I will be toasting to dear Walter tonight.

Thank you for letting us know, Cheryl.
It is a sad day, indeed.

I will miss reading his FramBors posts, coupled with his sense of humor, and
will miss talking baseball with him at FHS and Post 74 games. He will, most
definitely, be missed.

RIP, Walter.

Truly a loss for Framingham and of course, for Lesley and all of his family.
The fog-horns will sound over the harbor for him.
It's time to raise a diet Snapple Peach Iced Tea for Walter.

I'll miss you, my friend.

Cheryl, I am beyond sad. Walter will be missed in so many ways. He was a great
lover of Framingham and loved going to the sporting events and keeping us
updated. He gave free advice to so many, but I just loved his humor each day.
I already miss him.
Prayers to his wife and family.

I read the email and just stared at it for a few minutes. I never met Walter,
but always looked forward to reading his posts. His humor and support of
Framingham will be greatly missed by all. RIP my blogging friend.

Thank you so much for sharing this information.

I am in a state of shock.
Walter was so vibrant...it's very hard to imagine we will no longer be
entertained by his Frambors musings.
I also toast him with my Peach Iced Tea Snapple it seemed liked he brought at
least a half dozen to every Town Meeting.
RIP Walter, you will be missed.

My heart sank when I read this sad, sad news. I, too, did not know Walter
personally but can say I had quite an affection for him. It was obvious he was
one of a kind in the best of ways. My deepest condolences to all who held him
close.

Frambors Community,

On behalf of our family I want to say thank you for all of your kind words
about my Uncle Walter.

Walter and I were very different people and rarely saw eye to eye on political
matters. That said, we both shared a deep passion for Framingham, the only
place we have ever called home.

Much like all of you I appreciated Walter’s unique sense of humor and his
general radiance as he went through life. Framingham will not be the same
without him around.

When a starting pitcher leaves a baseball game early the bullpen must pick up
the slack to complete the game. Walter has just left us early and I hope that
the rest of us can be his collective bullpen to continue to bring his light,
humor and local sports updates to our amazing community.

Walter is in a better place right now and is likely throwing batting practice
to some of the greats of the game who have also left us.

Much love to all of you,
Mike Croci

Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to write to our community as you and your
family members grieve Walter¹s sudden and tragic passing. While you and
Walter may not have seen eye-to-eye on many subjects, I can only imagine
the pride he must have felt in seeing the same passion in you that he had
when advocating for something that meant so much to him (albeit it in
different ways.)

I hope that during the difficult days, weeks, and months ahead that you
and your family will find some comfort in knowing how much Walter was
liked, respected, and loved in this community and throughout Framingham.
He is and will truly be missed now and in the future.

Nancy Donchin

This is very sad news. Sending prayers to the family. I did not know Walter and
have only lived in Framingham for 5 years but always loved reading his posts.
He so often made me laugh.
He will be greatly missed!

Thank you Cheryl, I will miss his posts, his humor and his kindness. What a
shock and a great loss. May you rest in peace and your family find comfort in
the memories of all the lives you touched Walter, God Speed,

Donna Schaefer

I hope that this dear man knew how many smiles he brought to so many of us at
FramBors. He will be sorely missed.
My sincerest sympathy to his family,
Marlene Wiener

Mike, So sorry to hear about your Uncle Walter. Although I never met him, I
feel like I knew him. His larger than life persona shined brightly through his
witty emails and will not be forgotten. Heartfelt condolences to you and your
family.Maureen McCarthy

I am so shocked and saddened by this news (which I received late, having been
away for the last few days). We did know Walter - he did some work for us and
we rented his and Leslie's summer place a few years back when our kids were
young. He even brought his dog Sheba around once or twice to play with our
puppy. I truly can't believe that this is true; so sad and unexpected and
sudden. Our prayers and condolences to his family,
Katie and Saman Amighi

Mike and all our Framingham neighbors,

I am finding it challenging to believe Walter is no longer with us, helping his
family, friends, and neighbors, and making jokes.

I met him a few years ago when he saved my kids’ house and mine from those
horrible ice dams. He not only did a great job of fixing the problem, but
didn’t take advantage of all the people who were desperate for his help. To
follow up in better weather, he fixed my roof to prevent future ice dams. Very
grateful to have had his expertise at work. For many decades I had dreamed of
someday having a garden window. Just a few months ago, Walter made this happen.
I will think of him often as I enjoy this lovely window.

Of course the most fun was talking politics, with our two very different
perspectives. Once he saw all the bumper stickers on my car, there was no
stopping him as he tried to correct my thinking.

I will treasure the fond memories of Walter (and his sense of humor and his
emails!) and hope that the respect and esteem of the Framingham community will
help his family through this sad loss.

Norma Shulman

From Walters wife: The kind words from all you have meant more to us than you
will ever know. Final arrangements have been made, found through the link,
below. For those I won’t be able to speak with person, please know that the
ongoing dialogue he engaged in on Frambors brought him such joy.

Dear Friends,

We lost a very important member of our Framingham family today. The man who
made us laugh, scratch our heads and at times exasperated us, passed away
suddenly from a heart attack this morning.

Walter Siggins was one of a kind. A family man who actually did like his
mother-in-law despite his many humorous posts to the contrary; a sports fan
who enjoyed our youth athletes more than the pros in the best sports city in
the world; and a follower of local politics who cared deeply about the
community he grew up in.

Walter was a very kind man who would do anything to help friends and
strangers alike. And people on these email lists know Walter had a great
sense of humor.

He has entertained all of us for years and was a full participant in our
wonderful community for his entire life. It's very unfortunate that he won't
have the chance to realize his life's dream of serving as Harbormaster for
the new City of Framingham.

Arrangements are not yet finalized. They are under the care of the McCarthy,
McKinney and Lawler Funeral home in Framingham. www.mccarthyfh.com
