Walter A. Argraves Jr.
He was self-employed, loved selling and buying antiques, and owned several auction halls. He was always searching for a bargain. He loved the game of softball and being an umpire. Walter Jr. spent time with Pastor Barry and his fellowship in Skowhegan, many times cooking in the kitchen, which he found great pride in. He enjoyed poker games, darts, golf, the Red Sox and the Patriots. He spent many years bowling in a bowling league and was known to be “the best lasagna maker ever” as well as many other dishes.
Walter is survived by two daughters, Jennifer Caron and partner Brian Obert of Skowhegan, and Shannon Horton and husband Joshua of Madison; a son, Walter Argraves III and partner Rachel Thyng of Skowhegan; three sisters, Carol Corson of Athens, Penda Spencer and husband Barry of Madison, Donna McClean and husband John of Ohio; six grandsons — Brandon Meader, Evan Caron, Stephen, Dawson and Kyle Argraves, all of Skowhegan, and Jayden Horton of Madison; two granddaughters, Riley Jade Crocker of Madison and Mariah Meader of Skowhegan; many nieces and nephews, who held a special place in his heart.
