During his 30+ years as a resident of Henderson County, Waltís careers included innkeeper of the Old Mill in Bat Cave, postal delivery mailman for the Hot Springs area, a waiter at several upscale Asheville restaurants and, most recently, as a lead server at the Esmeralda Inn in Chimney Rock. From an early age, Walt was a gifted artist with special interest in arts and crafts, music and painting.

Walt grew up in Spartanburg, SC. He was a 1978 graduate of Spartanburg HS and was a National Merit Scholarship recipient. He attended the University of South Carolina Honor College in Columbia, SC.

He is survived by his brothers, William Davis, Joe Burchette Jr. and Pete Whitlock, as well as half siblings, Jean Farnsworth, Rich Davis and Cheryl and Robert Heidenreich. Walt was a kind and generous soul who was loved by many and will be missed by all.

A celebration of his life will be held from 6-8pm Monday, October 22, 2012 at the Esmeralda Inn in Chimney Rock.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to WNCAP Organization (www.wncap.org), PO Box 2411, Asheville, North Carolina 28802-2411.
