Edward C. Walters Jr., avid Eagles fan

Edward C. Walters Jr., 64, of Milton, formerly of Delran, N.J., passed away Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, at his residence. He was born Friday, June 26, 1953, in Camden, N.J., son of the late Edward Charles Walters, Sr. and Julia Winifred (Gallagher) Walters.

Mr. Walters worked a 20-plus year career at Fresenius dialysis in Delran, where he manufactured saline products. He continued his career at Shop Rite foods in Delran for 10 years before retiring to the beach in 2016. In his retirement to the beach, Mr. Walters was so proud that he could reward all his hard work with building a brand-new house for the first time. It was here he had his ultimate man cave, and could watch his beloved Eagles whenever he wanted.

Mr. Walters could often be found at the movies, reading a new book or blasting his classic rock. He above all enjoyed the time spent with his family and friends, especially his niece, Colleen, who was his best friend. Mr. Walters will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Walters was preceded in death by his god-daughter, Sheila Taylor Munson. He is survived by his two sisters: Julia Harrison and her husband Donald of Mantua, N.J., and Geraldine Taylor and her husband Col. Thomas Taylor of New Hampshire; his nieces: Heather, Colleen and Tracy; his two nephews: Matthew and Luke; his four great-nephews: Jonathan, Michael, Andrew and Benjamin; and his three great-nieces: Elizabeth, Julianne and Eva.

Funeral Services will be held Friday, Feb. 9, at 11 a.m., at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Hwy, Lewes, where friends may call beginning at 10 a.m. Interment will be private.

Memorial contributions may be made in Mr. Walter's memory to the Cape Henlopen Food Basket, 37510 Oyster House Road, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.
