Walter Stark was an accomplished attorney who had a distinguished career with the federal government, at the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development, and later in the private sector, at companies including Emerson Electric, ESCO Electronics, and Hazeltine. His primary connection to the University of Delaware was through his son, Leonard P. Stark, a 1991 UD alumnus. Len was the University’s first Rhodes Scholar in 30 years and is currently a United States District Judge for the District of Delaware, having been appointed by President Obama in 2010. Among Walter Stark’s generous contributions to UD was the establishment, with his wife Linda Lewin Stark, of the Lewis Lewin Stark Memorial Scholarship, in memory of his and Linda’s parents. In 2003, when Walter Stark passed away at age 59, his friends and associates created the Walter Stark Scholar Award in his memory.
