Walter S. Maslon

Walter S. Maslon, a lifelong resident of Palmer, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025, at the age of 84. Born on July 10, 1941, in Palmer, he was the son of Stanley and Louise (Walas) Maslon, both of whom predeceased him. 

Walter proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, earning an honorable discharge and becoming a proud lifetime member of the AMVETS Post 74 in Three Rivers. 

A graduate of Palmer High School, Class of 1959, Walter exhibited a strong work ethic throughout his life. He spent over two decades as a mechanic for Cascade Diamond.

He was married to Carol A. (Zajac) Maslon for 45 wonderful years, who also predeceased him. Together, they raised three sons: Mark Maslon of Brimfield, Steven Maslon (Patricia) of Palmer, and Jason Maslon of Bondsville. Walter is also survived by his three brothers, John and Philip Maslon of Three Rivers, and Stanley Maslon of Monson. 

Walter had a deep passion for trains, enjoying both watching and collecting them. His fondness for this hobby was only matched by his love for socializing with friends at AMVETS, where he created lasting memories and friendships.

A graveside service will be held for Walter and his beloved wife Carol on Monday, November 24th at 10:00 AM, at Sts. Peter & Paul Cemetery, where military honors will be bestowed upon Walter for his service to his country. 

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages those who wish to honor Walter's memory to consider a donation to the AMVETS Post 74.
