Walter William Batryn

Walter William Batryn, aged 93, of Plymouth, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2024. Walter was a dedicated husband to wife Ann Batryn for 71 years. He was a loving father to Dan (Jean) of Sunnyvale, CA and the late Gary (Tracy) of Brentwood, NH. He was a proud grandfather to six grandchildren (Matthew, Michael, Jennifer, Mariana, Keith, and Olivia) and two great-grandchildren (Callan and Lilah), cherishing the time spent with each of them. Born just outside Detroit in the family’s farmhouse, Walter lived a full and accomplished life. He was an active-duty Marine at the El Toro Marine base in CA from 1949-1953, where he rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant. He attended RETS (Radio-Electronics-Television-School) to get hands-on experience with debugging and fixing various electronic items. He had a long and successful career as an engineer at Ford Motor Company from 1955 until his retirement, where his expertise and dedication left a lasting impact. Walter was known for his hard work, ingenuity, and commitment to everything he did. Walter’s life was marked by his love of family, his passion for engineering, and his involvement in his church and the community. He enjoyed the home he spent time building with Ann, fixing cars like a 1953 MG-TD, 1962 Triumph TR-4 and a 1966 Ford Cortina, Ukrainian food, especially pedaheh, and doing challenging puzzles. His wisdom, kindness, subtle sense of humor, and quiet way will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A visitation will be held on Saturday, July 13th, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM at Vermeulen-Sajewski Funeral Home, located at 46401 Ann Arbor Road West, Plymouth (between Sheldon and Beck). A funeral service to honor Walter’s life will immediately follow at 12:30 PM, also at the Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made in memory of Walter to GBS-CIDP Foundation International, a Guillain-Barre Syndrome foundation for funding research grants at https://www.gbs-cidp.org/donate/. Walter's family extends their heartfelt thanks to all who have supported them during this difficult time. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
