Rev. Walter McNamara C.S.Sp.

Sincere sympathy to Fr. Wally’s family and his congregation. May he rest in peace. Dolores Coffey. Perth. West Australia.

Uncle Wally, your soul carried so much light. It was an honor to have spent the time with you that I did. I will never forget your gentle spirit and kind smile.

Your smile and good cheer will be missed, Uncle Wally. But as you merge with the Holy Spirit, I’ll smile, remembering you.

May Fr. Wally rest in peace. He was a wonderful priest and friend. Blessings to his family.

Sincere sympathy to Fr. Bill, Gearoid,Seamus and all the Mcnamara family on the death of Fr.Wally. We have lovely memories of his visits and in particular the many times he celebrated Mass in our home and especially during Paddy's illness (now RIP). We will miss you Fr. Wally, rest in peace and happiness in your eternal home.

Uncle Wally has been our family's connection to our Irish family heritage in both Rhodesia and here in Western Australia. He married us and our chidren, but more than that he was our friend and part of the fabric of our lives especially for Joan, his sister and our departed mother. We will miss him deeply.

Your passing Wally brought back great memories of Freetown. As your forward hand on the GP14 yacht we had a lot of fun. Your colleagues there did admire my courage on the boat--took some unusual courses at times. Your success with finding crippled locals in the bush and supplying them with crutches --provided by a Dutch charity--was commendable. Then off to Australia as a flying priest--not a surprise.

So glad we met up with you Wally.

Our sympathies go out to the McNamara family. It was such an honor to have known him. He was such a kind and gentle man. May he rest in eternal peace.

It was a blessing to meet you and you were an inspiration and example to follow. You have now woke up from your dream (experience of bodily life) and returned to your true self that is soul and spirit. Reign with God and watch over your loved ones that are still living the dream.

As a child growing up i have fond memories of Fr Walters visits to our home ,most especially to our Nana .He was one of the adults at the time who enriched us and never abused his position in life.
Thank you to all who contributed to offering such a loving meaningful mass for him.

Father Walter was my mother's first cousin and we've known him all our lives. He was at my daughter's wedding, we celebrated his 25 years as a priest, he was a great beacon of hope when my daughter's life lay in the balance. He visited my mothrr frequently. We will miss him.

We in the Legion of Mary Regina Coeli hostel were so privileged to have had Fr Wally as our Spiritual Director and on my recent visit to him in Nazareth House we prayed a Rosary together which he deeply appreciated. We had a good friend in Fr. Wally May his gentle soul rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to the extended McNamara family on Fr Walter's death. He was a most interesting gentleman who I have fond memories of, from his prefecting and teaching days in Rockwell, prior to his ordination for the missions. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Was always a pleasure to meet Walter and enjoy lively discussions around belief and disbelief. When I met him a few months ago in Nazareth House his first comment once he recognised me was that we enjoyed some great philosophising. We did indeed !

We will miss always, Father Wally. You were a wonderful uncle to us all. We will cherish the wonderful memories of our times together in Texas and Laois. Until we meet again. XXOO Brian, Cathy & Roisin

So sad to hear of Fr. Walter's passing. Deepest condolences to all the McNamara family and extended family. Fr. Wally (and Fr Billy) were such a big part of all our lives growing up in Moveen, Kilkee. We loved his visits to his 1st cousins! He was such a character - so well travelled, intelligent, great fun and so kind & caring. Wally was always there for our family in both the hapoy and more challenging/sad times in life and celebrated many masses/ceremonies with us over the years. May you be reunited with your sisters & brothers in Heaven and Tess and Maisie McNamara (1st cousins). Rest in peace dear Fr Walter. We have such lovely memories of you 💖
