Obituary

Robert “Bob” Frank Walters

Robert “Bob” Frank” Walters, age 88, of Mechanicsburg passed away on Monday, May 8, 2023.  Bob was born on Thursday, February 21, 1935, in Mechanicsburg to the late Frank H. Walters and Mildred (Paulus) Walters.  Bob was the widower of Judith “Judy” A. (Davis) Walters, who died on October 13, 2003.

In 2000, Bob retired from Capital Area Transit (CAT) in Harrisburg, after 25 years of service working as a mechanic.  He loved mowing the grass on his tractor and was a huge NASCAR fan; his favorite drivers were Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and his son, Dale Jr.  Bob was a hardworking, caring and an all-around great man.  He deeply loved and missed his wife and absolutely adored his grandchildren.  Bob will be dearly missed by all those that had the pleasure of knowing him.
