William Henry Poynter

William Henry Poynter, of Walton, died peacefully at his home at the age of 96.

William received an associate’s degree from the Ohio Mechanics Institute of Oklahoma. He retired from the FAA where he was a Radar Technician. He proudly served his country in the Army 11^th Airborne Division where he was stationed in Japan.

He was very interested in history, music, and loved playing his harmonica. He will be very missed by his family, and we will miss being entertained by his music.

The family would like to thank St. Elizabeth Hospice for their wonderful care.
