Theodore R. Walser of Water Mill died on September 13. He was 80 and the cause of death was cancer.
Mr. Walser spent his childhood in New Canaan, Connecticut, attended the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey and was a 1957 graduate of Yale University. He began a career as a banker at Chemical Bank and went on to become senior vice president of corporate banking for Lloyd’s Bank. In his retirement, he served as an executive interviewer for Greenwich Associates.
Mr. Walser was well-loved in the banking community, where his associates remember him as a consummate professional, as well as a kind and generous man who was popular with everyone, survivors said.

He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Sandra; a sister, Jeanne Burdell of Oregon; and four children, Julia Allan of Massachusetts, Elizabeth Gassimi of Mexico, James Walser of Washington State, and Kenneth Walser of Florida. He is also survived by grandchildren Rily, Jackson, Katy, Madeleine, Amanda and Caroline. He was predeceased by a brother, Mackenzie Walser, and a sister, Mary Brady.
