Walter John Bygott, age 90, of Shelton, formerly of Fairfield, beloved husband of 64 years of Rosalie (Billings) Bygott, passed away Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at Bridgeport Hospital. Born in Ansonia, CT, the son of the late Philip and Estelle Bygott, he had been a Fairfield resident for most of his life.
A true patriot, Walter proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War, seeing action in South and Central Korea as a Sergeant and Anti-Tank Assault Unit Leader. Following the War, Walter worked as a Manager at Sears Roebuck and Co. and then pursued his dream in the Hardware business; owning Kele’s Hardware and Tunxis Hill Hardware in Fairfield. Mr. Fix-it was his name and perfection was his game. Walter was an avid New York Mets fan even with their imperfections.
