Walter Arthur Erickson's Obituary
Walter Arthur Erickson
Born July 27, 1943
Departed this life February 16, 2014
Walter retired as Electrical Inspector of Tacoma City Light in 2007. When asked “how is retirement?” OH what a smile crossed his face. He was so happy. He has been residing in Graham Washington with his partner in crime, best friend Pam. I know the protocol for names of family to be listed here but, Walt didn’t roll that way. His family did not depend on gene pool, it thrived on love. He had the biggest heart and loved ever so deeply. Not enough room to list all he called family ……you know who you are. We are not having a traditional service but, Friends and Family are welcome to attend a graveside service on Saturday February 22, 2014 at 10:30AM. After the service there will be a celebration of Walt’s life, 2:00PM, at the “Kapowsin Events Center” 14810 Kapowsin Highway East Graham WA 98338.
As one flame is gone another will burn bright.
A few days before Walter’s hospitalization, a precious little boy, Liam, joined our family two months early. Walter loved this little boy. In lieu of flowers a benefit account will be set up at Key Bank for William Mitchell Knutsen “Liam”
