Age 91, died peacefully Friday June 9, 2017 at Premier Genesee Rehabilitation and Nursing Center following a brief illness. He was born February 11, 1926 in Buffalo, NY to the late Walter (Frances Mehnert) Doehring, also preceded in death by his wife, Betty Ruth in 2014 and brother, Donald in 2015.
Walter loved to reminisce about spending summers with his brother at their grandparent's house in Linden, NY when they were young. He served in the U.S. Navy as a Radioman/Telegrapher (1944-1946). Walter was hired as one of the original faculty members when the Genesee Community College opened its doors in September of 1967. A Professor of Accounting, he retired after 30+ years. He will be remembered by the many students he taught over the years. His children will always remember the summer camping trips when Dad would always insist on "taking the road less travelled".
Surviving are his eight children, James (Richard Episcopo), Thomas (Steven Chalfant), Jack (Gareth), Daniel (Anna), Andrew (Sandra), Sarah, Rachel (David) Fasano, William (Phoebe); five grandchildren, William, Matthew, Zalya, Stella and Erin.
There will be no prior calling hours and a private family gathering will be held at a later date. Memorials in his memory can be made to Crossroads House 11 Liberty St. in Batavia, New York 14020.
