WALTER PRESGRAVES Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch on Oct. 25, 2010.
PRESGRAVES, Walter J., 65, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2010 after a long, courageous battle with lung cancer. Joe, as he is known to all his family and friends, was born in Washington, D.C. on November 28, 1944. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Gail T. Hoppe, who will miss him dearly; his three sons, daughter-in-law, stepdaughter, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. At Joe's request, a simple graveside ceremony to inter his ashes at the family plot in Lakeview Cemetery in Hamilton, Va. A memorial to celebrate his life will be held on November 6, at 1 p.m. If you wish to make a donation in Joe's memory, please consider RAL or your local animal shelter or rescue group.
