I will keep you all in my prayers. I have never experienced such a lost, but I pray that you remembver his smile, giving spirit, soft-spoken voice and his undying love for his family and friends. I could not have wished for a more wonderful God Father and Uncle. He was Daddy Slack to me and my kids. We were blessed to have him as a part of our lives. I know my kids and I now have a Special Guardian Angel. - Carletta Joyce Taylor-Garraway

My sympathy is extended to the entire family. Walker was my cousin. We grew up in Milton, Florida and was class mates. Keep your hands in God's hand and He will see you thru your sorrows. Be Blessed.

As a caregiver for Home Instead, I always looked forward to my time with Walker. He had a gentle spirit. It was obvious that family, friends, and church were very important to Walker. I will not see an old western on TV without thinking about Walker. I am now hooked! Walker looked forward to being with his wife in heaven. May you rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
