Walter M. McGuire, 95, passed away Saturday, June 22, 2013. His twinkling blue eyes are making Heaven a little brighter today. A native of Rock Hill, SC, in York County, he was the son of the late Walter M. and Sudie Brunson McGuire, and the husband of Virginia Eller McGuire, who died June, 2002. He was preceded in death by his twin sister, Beatrice Papinella; sisters: Anne Mae Walters, Virginia Roberts and Ruby Mosca; and brother, Mannie McGuire.

Dock retired from ABF Truck Lines as a mechanic after serving his country in WW II as a US Army aircraft mechanic. An active member of The Refuge Christian Center in Asheville, Dock's unwavering faith in God was evident in the way he lived his life. He was a shining example of Christianity. His peaceful, patient nature made him the greatest husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who ever lived. In his later years, everyone knew him as "Granddaddy", for he was a loving, kind man to all.

Burial will be in the McGuire Family Cemetery on Long's Chapel Road.
