I joined Carl Walker & Associates back in 1976 in the Elgin, IL office and have worked in Kalamazoo, Minneapolis, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Tamp, Denver and California offices. He instilled in all of us a sense of responsibility and completing all projects on time. He governed by delegating responsibilities so we could grow professionally with confidence. We will...

I´ll always remember Carl as a dedicated "hockey" dad. I know he will be greatly missed. Our condolences to the entire Walker family.

My condolences to the Walker family. A life well lived, a loving heart and lasting legacy. So much to honor, remember and celebrate. In a time of sadness, our memories are a precious gift.
