Not sure what to say?

Mr. Walker was an awesome teacher. He painted a picture to "Prince´s" song Signs of Time that blew us away. Late but never forgotten.

So Sorry to hear about Jobe's passing. I am part of the Walker family in Indiana and we considered him the family Historian. He would often travel to the family reunions to give us names of ancestors. I never knew he was an Artist, but we owned an Art Gallery and I would have loved to see some of his work.

Mr. Jobe S. Walker in all my 20 years of receiving an education Mr. Walker will be the one who's voice I will never ever forget, who taught to keep trying and who knew how to correct with kindness. Although,I am now a R.N., and not some famous artist.. his guidance taught me art skills that I will never forget..and his voice I still hear as I paint ads on windows or at Christmas.."Joyce O' Brashier..you need to draw out your lines for your guide.. until you become skilled enough not to..then...
