Walter Cloud Obituary


CLOUD, Jr., Walter Joseph
Born July 15, 1914, in Norristown, PA, he passed away in his home in Gulfport, MS, on August 29, 2005, from a sudden heart attack as Hurricane Katrina swept through his town. He was 91 years old. His first wife Deborah Janet (Kille) Cloud, his first son Walter J. Cloud III, and great-grandson Walter J. Cloud V preceded him in death. His sister Elizabeth of Lancaster, PA, his wife of 37 years, Joan (Manheim) Cloud of Gulfport, and daughters Bonnie, Jody, and Lori survive him, along with his son Kennard Spencer, grandchildren Kennard Spencer Jr., and Marcy, daughter Deborah Jane, grandchildren Seth and Abby, daughter-in-law Joanie, grandchildren Kathy, Jeanie, Patty, Christy, Mary-Jean and Walter Joseph IV. He had 14 great-grandchildren. For years he lived in Rumson, NJ, where he commuted to New York as a consultant. He then moved to Ormond Beach, FL, then built a new home in Gulfport, MS. a few years ago. While no formal services were held at his request, he was buried at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens in Gulfport. "Early morning ocean fishing, a gallon of ice cream with 2 spoons, shucking corn and grand homes will be fond memories to share with our own." Thank you, Granddad, you were a wonderful man.

Sister craft to Whiz-ski

Dad taught "J" and I to fish and water ski on a similar craft as this. It was his favorite boat until Hurricane Donna demolished it. Because the bow would sit up so high he would sit on the deck between the seats to pilot it. I can picture him cruising in it now with "J" skiing along behind!

Thank you Grandad for the wonderful childhood memories in Fla. I will never forget shelling the huge bowls of shrimp with our coctail sauce nearby for snacking!!! Tell Jesus, Dad and Joey hello for me, you all will enjoy fishing together now. Love Christine
