WILLIAM EVERTON WATERS was born on December 11, 1922 in Baltimore, MD, to the late Ira and Serena Waters. He was called home on October 11, 2003, after a brief illness. Bill was truly blessed. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed. He leaves to mourn their loss, a devoted friend, Ms. Loretta Townsley, his brother, James C. Waters and his sister, Margaret E. Waters. He was preceded in death by his son, William E. Waters, Jr., four brothers, Granville, Douglas, Joseph and Edward Waters and two sisters, Eva Price and Edith Sydnor.

Both brothers loved to fix cars. They labored side by side at their garage in East Baltimore. Both came to the United States from Jamaica looking for a better life. Both were forgiving, almost to a fault. "They worked real well together. They would tell jokes about each other," said Samuel Murdock, a relative. "They were close." But five days before Christmas, Ralston and Everton R. Holder were killed. First, the older brother, Ralston, 52, was fatally shot at 10 a.m. in the parking lot of his Northeast Baltimore apartment complex as his 3-year-old son sat in a truck.

The caskets were a mirror image of each other, the brothers inside them dressed in black suits and fedoras and the floral arrangements atop them done in the Rastafarian colors of red, yellow, green. Outside the church, matching light-colored hearses idled side by side. Ralston "Roy" Holder and Everton "Cliffy" Holder, Jamaica natives and East Baltimore auto shop owners, were shot to death hours apart on the same day last week. Yesterday was their double funeral. The two ran the Eveready Towing & Repair shop in the 3300 block of E. Fayette St. They had a reputation for generosity, giving steep discounts to customers who were paying out of pocket and letting a homeless employee sleep at the shop for a time.

Two brothers who ran an East Baltimore garage were gunned down execution-style yesterday three hours apart in different city neighborhoods, and police scrambled to protect their families as detectives searched for suspects in the attacks. The first to die, Ralston Holder, 52, was shot several times on the parking lot of his Northeast Baltimore apartment complex shortly before 10 a.m. after dropping off his girlfriend at the airport, police and relatives said. About 12:45 p.m., a masked gunman jumped out of a car, ran up to Everton R. Holder, 41, and shot him several times at the brothers' towing and repair shop in the 3300 block of E. Fayette St., police said.
