Walter Allen Whitehurst

it was the ukulele (of course!) that introduced me to the talents and faith of Walter Whitehurst. My very first 'gig' as Jurisdictional Coord was to share in a glorious, love-filled Ind Vol training in Iowa led by the Whitehursts! They both expanded my heart to the many possibilities of serving others . thank you Walt and Betty!

I will remember sharing wonderful times with Walt and Betty at Conference UMW events! May God Bless Betty and family.
Love, Janet Keener

We will keep you Mrs. Betty and your families in our prayers. I remember those times you both visited Resurrection UMC in Chesapeake. I still have the book I bought with his autograph on it.
Pastor Walt will surely be missed. Be blessed

I was so saddened to learn of Walt's passing. Sincerest condolences. We served together on the Senior Alumni Board at his beloved Randolph Macon College for close to a decade. His wisdom and advice was a major contribution to the success of the group. Aside from his guitar playing and selling his Tales from Pungo books he did show his serious side.
Such a life well lives, he'll be sorely missed.go
God bless and comfort the family.

As Walt's publisher, friend and fellow United Methodist missioner, it is with deep sorrow to learn of his passing into eternal life. If anyone ever deserved a crown of glory, it has to be Walt. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Jim and I are so sad to learn of Walt's passing through the veil. Over the years we shared many laughs and some tears. Cruising the Caribbean together last January was a highlight experience which we will treasure for many years to come. Betty and family, our sincere sympathy to all of you in the loss of a wonderful friend, husband, father, grandfather, mentor. . .so many adjectives could be used to fit Walt. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Walt will be dearly missed by his Randolph-Macon College friends, especially the other members of the Boydton Society Executive Committee who always enjoyed his ukulele serenades at the beginning of each meeting.
