William "Billy" "Bill" Ralph Everett Walter , born 9-29-1962, died 1-19-2022.  He was a Son, Brother, Brother-in-law, Uncle, Husband, Father, and Grandfather.

Gone from our sight, but never our memories.  Gone from our touch, but never our hearts.

Billy was a happy baby and a kind and caring person from early childhood and throughout his life.  His nickname was "Busy Billy."  He was always doing or making something.    In high school 1979 he got a job at Albertson's and was still working for the store at the time of his death.  In addition to his primary job, he also worked second jobs—from Hobby Lobby to his current second job at Four Winds Travel Center.  He was a baker too, winning first place awards for his zucchini, pumpkin, and poppy seed bread.

There are no words to describe the depth of love parents have for their child.

His brothers described him as, "we could always depend on him.  He would go out of his way to help us or others.  He was funny and fun to be around.  We miss him."  Chris always said, "He was the best little older brother I have."  Chris was taller and younger.

Billy's sister said he had an amazing heart for her and for others.  She also said, "He was my protector, he made time for me, took me with him when he would go somewhere and to the movies.  He always remembered special times in my life like my birthday and anniversary.  He teased me when I had a baby at age 42 but was thrilled when she was born.  He was there for me when my grandson died.  He was always kind and had a great sense of humor.  He was one-of-a-kind, my hero, and I miss him."

His sister-in-law says he gave the best hugs right from his heart.  He was selfless, dependable, caring and always busy.  We will all miss his breads, candies, and chocolate covered pretzels that he would bring us for Christmas.  Most of all, we miss him.

He was a loyal and loving husband to Mary for 36 years.  He took care of her through cancer, chemo and the residual side effects of treatment.  They shared many adventures together over the years.  The last one was a trip to New York for a Buffalo Bills game.  The Bills were his team.  Mary said, "He was the love of my life.  There was no one better."

He was father to Jennifer.  She described him as the best Dad anyone could ever have.  They had great father-daughter times together, but it was never enough.  I could always count on him in hard times when I needed him most.

He was grandfather (Papawah) to Timmy who misses him terribly.

He was a friend to many.  His fellow employees and customers described him as, "kind, funny, a great ambassador for the company, caring, gentle hearted, he could always make me laugh, he was like a 2 ^nd father to me—always encouraging, nicest friendliest cashier, always in a good mood, always had time for a kind word, he knew my name, a super cool guy, a genuinely nice man, he organized the items in my grocery bags for easy unloading at home, I enjoyed his sense of humor, I will miss him, he filled us with joy, I always wait in his line, a blessing to know him, and he took me under his wing when I first started working at the store."

Bill was predeceased by his Dad, Marvin and his great nephew, Nathaniel.

He is survived by his mother, Nancy, his father Charles (Buck) and his wife Robin, his brothers Tommy and Chris, his sister Dorothy, his wife Mary, daughter Jennifer and grandson Timmy.  Also, his nieces and nephews Lisa, Cynthia, Charlie, David, Timothy, Catalina, Christian, Daniel, Jace, Leiland, Charlie 2.0, Joaquin, Gabby, and Emma.
