He had a wisdom about him and he was kind and gentle. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, everybody listened.” Wheatley said Walters soon raised surgical standards on his return. “As a young physician, I al- ways felt like I could go to him for advice, and we became good friends,” Wheatley said. “I got the impression that when he started his practice in the 1950s, he was part of a new generation of surgeons and he raised the level of care here. He always kept up with the state-of-the art. He was a talented technician and had a calm demeanor that made him a great surgeon.” Walters was the picture of calm, methodical and thorough in the operating room, Wheatley said. “I asked him what he missed most about retirement, and he said his patients,” Wheatley add- ed. “That speaks volumes about him as a physician and a man.” 0 PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH Honor Your
