Journal Entry by Eleanor Walther — 4 minutes ago
Robert (Bob) Alan Walther, of Alexander, North Carolina, passed away
peacefully at his home on January 25, 2021 enveloped in the love and
light of so many, with his family by his side.

Bob graduated from Fort Lauderdale High School and attended Baldwin
Wallace College, where he met Eleanor Thorn Walther, his wife of 53
years. Bob went on to establish Alloy Molded Products in Cleveland,
Ohio, but his true passion was photography. He later applied his
skills professionally and was a proud member of American Society of
Photographers. He loved and supported the arts.

Bob was a member of Bay Presbyterian Church, Bay Village, Ohio, where
he participated in the Promise Choir and served as a Deacon. When he
and Eleanor moved to Asheville, he became active at Grace Covenant
Presbyterian Church.
Known for his warm sense of humor, Bob had a strong sense of loyalty
to friends and was a kind and loving partner to Eleanor, as well as a
dedicated father to their daughters, Meredith Carlone (Michael
Carlone) and Julie Walther. He adored his grandchildren, Samantha
Huston, Taylor Huston and Milo Carlone. Bob also enjoyed the family’s
many pets over the years.

Due to COVID, the family will not hold a funeral at this time but
rather a Celebration of Life at a future date. The family appreciates
any gifts or expressions of condolence be directed toward Four Seasons
Hospice (www.fourseasonsfdn.org) or Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church
