Harry Robert "Bob" Walter Jr.

Harry Robert "Bob" Walter Jr. of Bedford passed away peacefully, at home with family on March 31, 2025 in Hummelstown, PA.

He was born on September 15, 1947, in Altoona, a son of the late Harry R. and Gladys (Snyder) Walter. Bob was preceded in death by his brother Richard A. Walter.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Carol (Miller) Walter, with whom he shared 53 years of marriage. Bob is also survived by his three children, Tina (Corle) Baham, of Bedford; Amanda (Walter) Mannion and husband Matthew, of Hershey; and Harry Robert Walter III, of Etters. He is remembered by his grandchildren, Kaitlin Baham, Elizabeth (Mannion) Volosh and husband Marshall, Madelyn and Samantha Mannion, and Harry Robert Walter IV.

Bob served his country in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam Era and was stationed in Guam. Bob worked as a truck driver for many years, a career that allowed him to travel across and see the country. After retirement, Bob still loved to be behind the wheel of any motor vehicle. While he had a knack for being a little mischievous and outspoken, those who knew him-whether family or friends-quickly learned that it was all part of his unique charm. His playful teasing and stubborn streak were matched only by his loyalty and generosity. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and grand-dogs alike. Known for his outgoing personality, Bob was a fatherly and grandfatherly figure to many. Bob would finish many conservations with sage advice such as "Don't take any wooden nickels", or "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Bob will be deeply missed by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
