Walter's love extended beyond his immediate family; he held a special affection for his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. His ability to create bonds steeped in love and devotion will be remembered as a testament to the kind and loving man he was throughout his life.
He is survived by his loving wife Barbara Annette Alley; daughter, Jean (Rex) Morris of Monroe, GA; three step-daughters, Katie (Alberto) Valenzuela of Winston, GA, Shirley (Roy) Sanchez of Fairburn, GA and Joyce (Ferrol) Mayfield of Sharpsburg, GA; two step-sons, Tom Waggoner of Atlanta, GA and Richard D. Ray of Sharpsburg, GA; sister Lena, brothers, Billy and Jerry; and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
