Willie Walter NORTH

Mr. Willie Walter North, age: 84, was born in Carroll County, GA on Wednesday, March 26, 1930. He departed this life on Sunday, March 15, 2015 at Laurels of West Carrollton Nursing Facility. He was the first of child of five born to union of Sunny and Geneva Martin North.

Preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Diane North; son, Danny North Sr., brother, Yank North; sisters: Allie Maude McJunkins, Eula Mae Adams, Beverly Arnold and Sarah Sparks; and grandson, Roytony Tieon North. He leaves to cherish his memory his sons: Walter Lee and Danny North; daughters, Denise North, Donella North, Sadie (Randall) Rowell, and Diane Smith; his brother, Sunny (Jurene) North Jr.; special daughters, Clydette North-Burke and Michelle North; 17 grandchildren, including special granddaughter, Bridgett Hatch, 44 great grandchildren and numerous great great grandchildren; a host of other relatives and friends

Walt had quite a remarkable life. He leaves behind his infectious laughter, singing the good ole blues and passion for fishing; but most of all, his facetious way of initiating sentences -using modifiers such as: "Now look here…" or "I'm telling Jewel!" OR the infamous, "Hell!" He was a magnanimous man with an expansive, immense yet amusing character. He was well liked and could unknowingly make just about anyone in his presence laugh. He had a passion for keeping the musical heritage of the 50's, and 60's alive. He enjoyed watching live performances such as James Brown and Tina Turner. Willie was a devoted leader of his family and we will cherish his memory forever.
