	Ralph E. Waters, 68, of New Sharon, ME formerly of 39
Elm Rd, Cromwell, CT passed away surrounded by his
loving family at the Central Maine Medical Center on
July 9, 2006 after short illness. The comfort and love
he received from his family those final days touched
him deeply and made him feel so loved.
	Born Nov. 29, 1937 in Middletown, CT, the son of late
Emerson Ralph and Ally Teresa (Duckworth) Waters. 
Predeceased by a sister, Julia Carroll.
	Ralph worked at Jackson Corrugated Container for 30
years retiring in 1995 and moved to Maine and wintered
in Florida. Ralph was the founder and lifetime member
of the Tobacco Valley Flywheelers Club of Cromwell,
CT. He enjoyed attending gasoline engine and tractor
shows, searching for that special engine or tractor to
take home. He enjoyed keeping in contact with
everyone, especially to call his friends with news of
a tractor or engine he just bought.  He was a man that
was always there for his friends and family with words
of strength, wisdom and encouragement. His strength
and love will be forever missed. 
	He leaves his wife and love of his life of 48 years,
Wanda (Granat) Waters of New Sharon, ME, two precious
