I am so sorry for your loss. I would see Herb at the Wyoming Rec Center on Sundays. He was always working hard and trying to get healthy and strong. He would admire my work outs and motivate me to keep going strong. We will miss him at the Rec Center. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The End of An Era
When Herbert went to sleep, an era was ending.
When he awakes, it will be to a new beginning.
Our families first met while living in the Courts.
Our mothers laughed and talked, as we played childhood sports.
We met again on a court much later as teens.
This time at a basketball game where superstars were seen.
Herbert played for the Shiloh All Stars on the winning team,
With skilled precision, and of the crop he was the cream.
Again our paths crossed, and we shared common joy,
In the births of our grandchildren, a girl and a boy.
Keiva and Kelvin were sunshine and light.
Sharing them made our lives beautiful and bright.
A few months ago Kelvin took me to Indian Spring
To visit Herbert, reminisce, pray and even sing.
Camela was there in faithful attendance
Seeing to Herbert's needs, leaving nothing to chance.
I was unable to return due to my own health,
But the time we spent together counts as treasured wealth.
Herbert spent much time and thought in sweet reflection,
Thinking of his God, while making his calling and election.
To the Family,
Marlene Jason and family extend our deepest sympathy to Herbert , Jr., Valerie, Camela, Chris, and Laura. My mother, Sarah, and your grandmother, Laura, were best friends, and Garvin, Herbert, Clifford, and Freddie were childhood friends.
Children, let your father's memories stay alive in your hearts. One such memory occurred when our families "ran into" each other at Disneyland in California years ago. We were all pleasantly surprised when Herbert, Vellier, Don and I suddenly saw each other. What were the chances of such a meeting? Let's plan to meet again in heaven.

To the Family of Herbert Walker, please accept for yourself and all who mourn with you our sincere heartfelt sympathy. Herbert displayed his personal values when faced with immediate danger in 1957. He demonstrated true courage by standing up to bullies in the schoolyard. It was a life lesson for me and helped shape my future. May the bereaved family find solace in the inspiring memories of the exemplary life of Herbert.
