February 23, 1932 - April 15, 2022

Ronald R. Walther, age 90, of St. Augustine, Florida passed away on April 15, 2022 at the Bailey Family Center for Caring. He was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. After high school he served his country in the U.S. Army. Ronald then worked as an arbitrator for Bethlehem Steel for over 30 years. He was later employed by the Buffalo Children’s Hospital as the Director of Personnel for 15 years. After retiring, he and his wife, Christine, would visit Naples, Florida in the winters. He permanently moved to Florida to be nearer to his daughter when his wife passed in 2014. In 2017, he, along with his daughter, moved to St. Augustine to be even closer to his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Ronald was an avid athlete and lover of all sports. He was a great hockey player, and enjoyed playing tennis and golfing with his wife, Christine. He will be remembered by his friends as a wonderful host to many legendary parties and by his family as a loving man who would never throw a game of cards in someone’s favor, no matter how fond he was of them. He is survived by his daughter, Dawn Reuther; grandchildren, Nicholas Reuther (and wife, Natalie) and Christopher Reuther; and his great grandchildren, Tristan, Tippi and Tate. He was preceded in death by his wife, Christine Walther; son, John Walther; and grandson, Chad Reuther. in lieu of flowers please make donations to National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
