To Robin and the Entire Walker Family,
My deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and the whole family. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. It hurt me that I did not know he was in the hospital, because I would've came up there! Always, always you can depend on him to be the life of the party and to bring a smile to everyone's face in the room. That's priceless, a Very rare gift! Just another Angel the good Lord needed a little bit more than we needed him! May God continue to give you all the strength you need to endure!
Love and Blessings,

I'm truly sorry to hear of Mr. Walker's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his dear family and many friends. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

To the Walker family,
Of the many parents I interacted with at Stratford Academy, no one comes close to Joe Walker. He was truly an inspiration of an involved parent and father, kind and considerate, a cheerleader of sorts for his children and always wearing a broad smile. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
With sympathy,

I worked with Joe at the courthouse on Golden Hill and always found him to be diligent, helpful and just a good person. He used his humor and wit to diffuse many difficult situations that arose in the courthouse. He had the ability to make others laugh whether it was judges, attorneys or the public. Prayers to his wife and children.
