Edward Raymond "Ted" Walker

I frequently think of Ted and how much our lives were improved by his presence and advice. He continues to be missed but I am sure he is enjoying his presence in heaven.

Dear Liz and Family ... you can just hear Ted's laugh when looking at that photo.
Love to you all ... Rosalie and Duncan

Dear Liz and Family,
I'm looking now at Ted's photo in your online guest book. I remember that smile. That happiness. That gentle, yet intent look of a man at peace with himself. A man of wonderful curiosity. An industrious individual. A man interested in his neighbors.
I was blessed to be Ted's neighbor. I was blessed, Liz, to get to know that friendly face — and yours — when I lived across from you two and your kids on 32nd Place for 11 all-to-short years. Those were...

Ted was an amazing human being and a real Joy to work with. I felt sad when I found out of his death.

No prayers needed, he is where the good people go.

I just stare at this picture dad. You were an amazing father. I miss you deeply. Kelly

We were saddened to read of Ted's death, and are thinking of you so much these days, Liz. Our recent visit with you at the Waverley CC was such a treat, to get caught up a bit, all the way back to high school, and remembering conversations with Ted during the budding development of The Walker Group many years ago, both a symbol and reality of Ted's helping and healing spirit. We said, "We need to do this again soon!" If we feel that loss, how difficult this must be for you. Please know how...

He sounds like a warm and generous soul with a great sense of humor. I'm sure he will be much loved in heaven as he was on earth. Blessings to his family.

Ted and I spent some wonderful times working together at Edgefield Lodge in the early days. If it weren't for Ted I'd have never learned to handle spin serves in ping pong. Our matches were ledgendary. Secondarily, he taught me quite a bit about working with families and children. There was a lot of spin involved there, too. Even though the years had separated us...each going our ways, I've never forgotten him.
My thoughts are of you, Liz, and your family. john greene

Although I haven't seen Ted in several years, I will always remember his 50th birthday party. I was visiting from AZ and was included in the celebration that night. It was a lovely out-door party on a perfect Portland evening. Ted was in usual form, and the way I will always remember him -- charming, gracious, warm and kind. He was just genuinely one of the "good guys" and they are so rare. My thoughts go out to you, Liz and to your family.
