John H. Walls, 52, of Winchester, passed away Tuesday, July 24, 2012, after a long illness, at home, surrounded by family. Beloved husband of Edna Walls, he was the most loving father of Christian, Brandon and Alec Walls; loving son of the late Doris and Charles Walls; dear brother of Ginny Brunelli of Sandwich, Judy Legee of Sandwich, Jackie Carlson of South Carolina, Jim Walls of Pembroke, Maine and Jeff Walls of Franklin. John is also survived by many nieces and nephews. A native of Franklin, Johns greatest loves were his family, basketball and the great outdoors. Whether he was tossing a frisbee, searching for crabs on the oceans shores or drifting down a lazy river, John was most happy spending time with his family. He was a gentle, giving man and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
