Walter M. Davis

Walter Moody Davis Jr., 73, of Wellesley, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at his home. He was the loving husband of Meg (Kosofsky)  Davis for 43 years.

Born in Southborough,  he graduated from Tufts University and spent two years in Senegal with the Peace Corps where he became a true francophile.
