Walter Harpe Obituary
Walter served honorably in the United States Army, where he embodied the values of duty and commitment. After his service, he continued to apply his mechanical skills at Robins Air Force Base, working as an aircraft mechanic until his retirement. His work was characterized by precision and hard work, earning him the respect of colleagues and friends alike.
Walter is preceded in death by his beloved parents, Walter Emmett Harpe and Annie Virginia Joiner. He leaves behind a loving family, including his devoted siblings, Virginia Dalton and William Harpe, as well as his cherished nieces and nephews: Charles Dalton, Karen Crisci, and Mary Dalton. He was especially proud of his great-nephew, Ryan Alvarado.
A graveside service to celebrate Walter's life will be held on Monday, August 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Magnolia Park Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to join us as we honor a remarkable man who touched many lives with his kindness and dedication. In this time of sorrow, we take comfort in the memories of Walter and the legacy he leaves behind in our hearts. May he rest in peace.

I grew up living next door to Mr. Walter's mother, Mrs. Harpe, and his brother, William. Mr. Walter was a dedicated brother to William, making daily trips to the house to make sure William was doing well. Mr. Walter was a very kind soul and a wonderful man. I don't know what William will do without him. Rest in peace, Mr. Walter.

Walter was a great friend of mine and many others. We grew up together here when the town was really small. When he left for the military, I wrote him a lot about what was happening here at home. In-turn, he would write me back about things happening over there in the military. He came home and we struck up the ole friendship again and we kept it till his passing. I was really sadden to here that he has passed away.
