Walter Benjamin Dodds, Jr. was born to Florence and Walter Benjamin Dodds, Sr. on December 13, 1941 in McKeesport, PA , and entered eternal rest on June 27, 2024 in The Villages, FL. He graduated from East McKeesport High School in 1959 and Grove City College in 1963. Walt lived a great life from the time he was a child with his sisters, Cindy (Clete) Schartner, Sally McDermott, and Kathy (Mitch) Lacey, and many friends. He felt blessed with a wonderful wife, Geri (Blohm) who preceded him in death; great kids, Michael Dodds, Jeffrey (Kelly) Dodds, Karin Oleniczak, David Dodds, and Kristin (Tony) Dodds-Meucci; amazing grandkids Ian and Landen Dodds, Isabella Dodds, Emma and Anna Oleniczak, Cooper Dodds, and Liberty and Benjamin Meucci. Walt felt he had the best friends a person could ever have! In his words, "I wish everyone could be as fortunate as me and live a life that has allowed me to experience most of the experiences – some good, some not so good – that allowed me to be me."
