Walter Edward Bartkus, 84, of Littleton died peacefully with his family and close friends at his side on Friday, January 18, 2019. He was the son of the late Mary (Burke) Bartkus and Theodore Edward Bartkus of Concord, MA.
Walter grew up in Concord on the Bartkus Farm. In April of 1956, he joined the U.S Army and served overseas. He married the love of his life, Lois, in April of 1960 and they settled in Littleton, MA. Walter was very committed to his beloved town of Littleton and played an active role on many town committees as well serving as a Town Selectmen. Beginning as a real estate broker, he owned and operated many businesses in Littleton. Over the years, you would find Walter on the side lines of sports games as he watched his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play.
