Robert WALKER Obituary
On Christmas Eve, December 24th, 2020, Robert (Bob)
Donald Walker lost his battle with Parkinson's and passed away at the age of 80 in Sun City, Arizona. Bob (Donnie in his youth) was born at home in Brown County, Ohio. He attended the local Hamersville School from 1st – 12th grade graduating in 1958. He then served in the United States Marine Corp. and was honorably discharged in 1961.
Bob, a skilled tool and dye maker retired from Inland Msg, a division of General Motors, in Dayton, Ohio, in 1993 and
relocated to Arizona. On March 5, 1999, in Dewey, Arizona, he married (his words) his lovely and talented wife Sandy.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents Dale and Beulah, and three sisters, Alice, Lavonne and Laverne.
He is survived by his wife Sandy, his daughter, Jackie Lynn Gibson, (Greg) his son, Donald William Walker (Lisa), stepson, Sterling Jensen (Leslie), stepdaughter, Shelly
DeMoss (Clint), two sisters, Rinda Ridner, Beverly Ludeke, and brother, Larry Burns.
Bob has nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Bob enjoyed playing Banjo, Motorhome travel, auto restoration, golf, and reading. A talented Handyman, he stayed busy at home and helping others.
In these COVID-19 times a celebration of life service will be scheduled later. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Parkinson's research in Bob's name is something he would appreciate.
