Age 85, of Kettering, passed away at Miami Valley Hospital on September 22, 2022. He was born August 1, 1937, the son of the late James Owen Walters and Faye B. Sheets.

James O. Walters Jr., known to family and friends as "Jim" or "Pa Jimmy', was a faithful husband, charismatic father, loving grandfather, and genuine friend. Jim served his country honorably, in the United States Air Force as a young man. Jim had the privilege of marrying the love of his life, Pat with whom he shared 44 exceptional years. Together they raised five children and created a distinguished family. During Jim's career he worked as a manager in auto sales for several different auto groups in the Dayton area having an impact on countless clients and fellow employees. In Jim's free time he enjoyed the game of golf—playing at nearly every public course in the Dayton area. Jim was a 50 year member of the Shriners.
