Walter Joseph Lindstrom, 75, passed away on September 27, 2026. Born on November 16, 1950, he was the beloved son of the late Henry Lindstrom and Catherine Deir. Walter spent his formative years growing up in the tight-knit community of The Battery, a place that shaped his strong work ethic and deep connection to the waterfront.

Walter went on to build a proud and dedicated career on the docks, where he became a highly respected crane operator in the longshore industry. Known for his exceptional skill, reliability, and steady presence, he earned the enduring admiration and respect of his colleagues and peers throughout his many years of service.

Above all his accomplishments, Walter was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Colleen Lindstrom; his cherished daughters, Katie Lindstrom, Diane Lindstrom, and Sherry Benson; and his devoted sons, Walter Lindstrom and Tony Power.

He was the proud and adored grandfather of Kayleen, Nikita, Ronald, Vanessa, William, Jackson, Bethany, Wally Jr., James, Hannah, Brittany, Lindsey, Max Jr., Adam, Tori, and Austin. He was also the deeply loved patriarch to his 13 great-grandchildren. His warmth, guidance, and strong spirit will live on in each of them.

Walter was predeceased by his beloved grandchildren, Walter Puddester and Sherry Lynn Benson.
