Birth: 2 Dec 1923,
Death: 31 Dec 2003.
IRWIN, JR. WILLIAM WALTER A resident of Baton Rouge, he died at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2003, at Baton Rouge General Medical Center-Mid City. He was 80 and a native of New Orleans.
He was a 1942 graduate of Holy Cross High School in New Orleans. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II, where he served in the North Atlantic aboard the escort carrier USS Guadalcanal CVE-60.

In 1974, he was named Deputy General Counsel of the Department of Transportation and Development. He retired from DOTD in January 1994 after 31 years of service.
In addition to customary church and school activities, his lifetime of community service radiates from the deepest patriotism and devotion to his country.

He is survived by his wife, Dolores Mut Irwin of Baton Rouge;
a son and daughter-in-law, Dennis Michael and Annie Patrimonio Irwin of San Diego; and granddaughter, Heather Marie Irwin of San Diego.
