Walter’s Story Mr. Walter Lee Johnson was born on July 21, 1929 to

the late Charlie and Eva Mae Johnson in Acworth,

Georgia. He was the second child of four children born

to this union.

Walter was educated in the Cobb County School

System attending C.A. Roberts Elementary School in

Acworth, Georgia. In the fifth grade he had to leave

school to help his parents work in the fields. Walter

met and married the love of his life Mary Lorraine

Echols and to this union twelve children were born. As

the family grew Lorraine gave him the nick name “WL”.

With a fifth-grade education, Walter started volunteer-

ing as a Firefighter and then in 1959 he became ac-

tively employed by the City of Acworth making him the

first African-American police officer for the City of Acworth. After several years of

employment Walter earned the rank of Corporal. He was popular among his fellow

officers and they gave him the nickname of “Super Spook” which also happened to

be his “handle” on the CB radio. Walter served on the Cobb County Board of Com-

missioners and various other committees. After thirty-six years of service Walter re-

tired from the City of Acworth Police Department. He couldn’t sit down just yet, he

went to work for the best dealership in town Days Chevrolet as a security guard. Af-

ter the passing of his wife in 1995, Walter decided to move his family to Cartersville

Georgia where he spent his time doing what he loved, spending time with his family,

gardening, placing bird baths throughout his yard, growing flowers, and playing with

his dog “Question”.

He is preceded in death by his wife Mary Lorraine; children, Carey, Little Walt, Rob-

in, Jacqueline and Baby Johnson; parents Charlie and Eva Mae Johnson; brother,

Charles Johnson and sister, Rosa Mae Rice.

Order o f Servic e

In tears we saw you sinking

And watched you fade away.

With heavy hearts we wanted you to stay

But when we saw you sleeping,

So peaceful, free from pain.

How could we wish you back

To go through that again?

It broke our heats to lose you,

But you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God took you home.

We Love You Daddy
