Theodore R. Walters

Theodore R. Walters, 88, of Uniontown, PA, passed away Thursday, August 26, 2021 in the Uniontown Hospital.

Ted was born in Pittsburgh, PA December 11, 1932. He was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Stella Pietkiewicz, brothers, Walter, Jr., Roderick, Edmund, Vitold, Wilford, Leon and Stanley and sisters, Irene, Theda May, Hope and Faith.

Ted was a graduate of South Hills High School, class of 1951 and Waynesburg College, class of 1960.

He served in the US Navy during the Korean War aboard the USS Southerland DDR-743. All seven of his brothers also served in World War II and all came home safely. Ted taught English at Cranbrook School for Boys in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He often wondered if he made a difference in the lives of those he taught. He received his answer a few years ago when a former student, Mark Hendrickson contacted him to thank him for teaching him how to write. Mark is the author of several books and currently contributes commentaries to The Epoch Times. Mark and Ted formed a strong friendship and were able to get together over the last few years. Ted later became V.P. of Human Resources at Timkin-Mercy Hospital in Canton, Ohio.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Patricia (Beaumont) Walters, son, Daryl and wife Dorothy of Eatonton, GA, son, Teddy of Uniontown, PA, granddaughter, Ashley Tragon and husband Tyson, of Pittsburgh, PA, goddaughter, Julie Bonser Wall and family of Raleigh, NC, special friends, William and Dorothy Bonser of Toledo, Ohio and many nieces and nephews, whom he loved deeply.

Per his wishes, there is to be no viewing or formal memorial service. To honor his memory just love and respect your family and friends. Be with them or contact them as often as possible to make loving memories of your own. Arrangements were under the direction of the Shell Funeral Home, Inc.
