I worked with Wayne when I was the TV spotter for SF 49er broadcast games from about 19781986. Wayne would do all the 49er pre season games for Local TV with me in broadcast booth. What a gentleman, Knowledgeable guy. We would talk NFL trivia about the 1960s Nfl, Lions PKers, his teammates ( Alex Kara's etc,) his college career ( Jerry Kramer) etc etc... loved by all who had the pleasure to work along side him!

Hi Sylvia, I recently found out that Wayne had passed away. You may not remember, but you asked me if I would like to fly the 49er charters with you. I remember when you and Wayne were dating; when you two got married and how we teased you about not wanting to get married again. But you and Wayne were so perfectly matched; how could you not say yes?! You two were a gift to each other. Wayne was truly a gentle man, a good man with a wicked personality. I pray that you are continuing to...

Condolences To the Walker Family. Wayne Walker was an assistant coach for the Livonia Blue Jays back in the early sixties. His son Steven and I both played together for the Blue Jays. I am so sad to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to his family and Steven.

Best wishes to Wayne's wife Sylvia.

Sylvia, I met you thirty years ago when you called to put some tile on the fireplace of your Scott St home. Was such a nice surprise to meet both you and Wayne. You're both very special people.
Then during the course of that work I completed my first child was born. And you sent me the most cheerful card. Anyway that "child" is now 30 years old and had her first baby girl almost 3 months ago.
Cant tell you how shocked I was to learn of...

Wayne was a great competitor, and a fine example of the best that Boise High produced in those days. It was a privilege to know him then, and later as his sports career blossomed.

While Wayne tried his best to help me with my color commentating career, even he couldn't help. He did lend his voice to us on KTIK and was a true professional and I have mad respect for him. Rip my friend.

I met Wayne Walker once in Dallas. The Lions were playing the Cowboys in the Cotton Bowl stadium and Dad and Bobbly Lane made arrangements for our families to meet in Dallas for the game and to get Alan Lane and I on the sidelines. Wayne Walker #55 was so nice to us boys in the locker room and to get us set up on the sidelines. He played a great game and after the game he gave me his Detroit Lion wind breaker #55.
Our deepest sympathy - from the Yale Lary family to the Wayne Walker...

A great teammate and a great friend. I'll miss you. Bill Swain Detroit Lions
