New Orleans Times-Picaune  4 Aug 2012
WALTERS Charles Richard Walters, M.D. Dr. Walters, a retired surgeon, was born 
in Ellaville, Georgia to Edith Munro and Horace E. Walters. He was the second 
of three sons. He had early schooling in Atlanta and Savannah. He died at the 
age of 101 on Wednesday, August 1, 2012. He married Florence Singreen Walters 
on June 24th, 1937 and became parents to two sons: Charles Richard Jr., and 
Robert Edmond Walters. Dr. Walters and Mrs. Walters moved to Christwood 
approximately ten years ago after living in the garden district of New 
Orleans. He practiced surgery in New Orleans for 40 years and was on the 
visiting staff of Tulane Medical School with the final status of Professor of 
Clinical Surgery. He obtained his B.S. and M.D. degrees from Tulane in 1933 
and 1936 with scholastic honors of Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omicron Alpha. 
After six years of post-graduate hospital residency, he became a Diplomate of 
the American Board of Surgery. He proudly served in World War II for four 
years exiting as Lieutenant Colonel. His surgical practice was primarily at 
Southern Baptist Hospital where he was Chief of Surgery for a period. He was a 
charter member of the New Orleans Surgical Society and the Surgical 
Association of Louisiana becoming president of the latter. He was active in 
various capacities in the New Orleans Post Graduate Medical Assembly. Other 
professional memberships were the American College of Surgeons, Southeastern 
Surgical Society, local, state and Southern Medical Societies. He was a member 
of the New Orleans Country Club and the oldest male member of the Southern 
Yacht Club for many years. He enjoyed sailing with his two sons, Dick and Bob 
and they won many, many races at the Yacht Club. He also was an avid fisherman 
and hunter and when he wanted to take it easy, he played either golf or 
contract bridge, which he loved immensely. As he became unable to partake in 
the more active sports, he developed a greater passion for contract bridge and 
played almost daily with the members of Christ-wood. He enjoyed dining with 
members and often would get chided for winning the bridge hands so often. His 
mind was sharp till the day he died. He was loved and respected by his peers 
at Christwood and will be remembered for his sharp wit. He is survived by his 
son, Robert E. Walters and his wife, Janice; Robert's two children: Robert E. 
Walters, Jr., his wife, Bambi and their three sons: Liam, Avery and Harlan. He 
is also survived by his granddaughter, Nancy Reid Byrne, her husband, Chad and 
their two children: Aidan and Alana Byrne. Dr. Walters had two remaining 
cousins: Frank Walters of Texas and Margie Rose of Louisiana. Interment: 
private.
