Walter Franklin Lusby, Jr., 84, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2017 at the Hospice of the Chesapeake. Walter was affectionately known to old friends and family as Cap. He was born in Prince Frederick and raised in Olivet, a small community in Lusby, Maryland. He was the only child of Walter Franklin Lusby and Dora Elizabeth Marks.

Walter's life was all about boating. After moving to Severna Park at the age of 8 in 1941, he spent his working life with his father running the family boatyard on Cypress Creek in Manhattan Beach. He played lacrosse on the first Annapolis High School lacrosse team. He attended the University of Maryland. He served in the United States Army following the Korean war stationed in Inchon as a tugboat captain. Walt and his father eventually built, owned, and operated Magothy Marina. He was a member of the Severna Park Jaycees and could often be found with his friends at Hamlens. After retirement Walt and Jackie moved many times and eventually returned to live in their beloved hometown of Severna Park.
