Irl Raymond Walker III

Irl was a devoted friend and business associate. As the Igloo buyer at Oshman's during the 80's he truly represented Igloo as a balanced go between serving Oshman's and Igloo with honesty and good intentions. We stayed friends after I retired from Oshman's and stayed in the business, even though we were competitors. Truly a nice guy!

What I would like to say about Irl is what I would hope, someday, is said about me, "He was a good man". It seems like a simple aspiration but is not easily achieved by some. It was for Irl. It was in his DNA. Thanks for the example Irl! I learned a lot from your humility, but not enough. God keep you, pal.

Been to Long brother. Miss you everyday and speak of you all the time. I know you will be there as we all come home.

IrI was a wonderful person and a good honest salesman. A true friend that always had a smile and said the right thing when the chips were down. IrI stays in my memories. May God bless!

Irl I still miss you more everyday. You were the friend of friends. You were loved by many. See you someday and always in my thoughts.

May he always be remembered as a man with much love to give and especially to those in need. He will be missed dearly. My condolences to his family and our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

He was like a second father to me. The walker family was my family. He will be missed.

Irl helped me get into the Rep business with J. T. Everett and later we became partners in our own venture, The Walker-Williams Company. The man stood by me in hard times and was a great coach. I never took to retail products so we parted company, me pursuing industrial sales and he consumer. "I" was not in his vocabulary. He was unselfish as a partner and friend. Although I have not stayed close to Irl over the past ten years, I always think of his kindness when I remember him. Irl was/is a...
