Simon Walton was an unrivalled and


rounded human being, loving father and generous friend. An expert in French wine and Scottish single malt whisky, he shared his knowledge of French wine by entertaining his Maryland friends at his farmhouse in France and at his Baltimore table with knowledge, wit, and repartee. Never forgetting his British roots, he embraced the life and works of Scots poet Robert Bums, founding the Baltimore chapter of the International Bums Society and hosting the annual Bums Night Supper every January 25.


He always had an inquisitive mind and was an avid collector.


Starting with postage stamps and first day covers over 60 years ago, he collected maps and World War One commemorative Goss china during his adult years. Above all-- and on both sides of the Atlantic -- Simon Walton


was a loving father, son, brother, husband, and friend. His life epitomizes Robert Bums' sentiment that " ... Man to Man, the world o'er,! Shall brothers be for a' that."


Simon Kenneth Walton. Born December 21, 1941. Died November


20, 2008. Survived by his mother Hilda, his brother Timothy and sisters Claire and Amanda. His first wife Marianne and their daughters Rachel and Jessica. His second wife Nicole and their daughter Cecile. Proud grandfather of Joe, Scarlett and Max.
