I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Ricky and Mr. Walker at Textile Prints. He was such a hard worker and always had a joke to tell. May the Lord be with you all at this time.

I would like to say in the short time that I knew Mr. Walker that I learned alot about not taking everything for granted.He always had an encouraging word and always said you never get to old to learn anything. I like his personality and will surely miss him. Deacon Arko Farmer Babington Technology

To the Walker family:
I am so sorry for your loss! Mr. Walker was a great co-worker and friend. The office always lit up when he came in, with his cheerful attitude and great jokes! He was always available to help me, even when he had to explain electrical components to me REPEATEDLY! We all admired and adored him so much. Babington just won't ever be the same without him; he will be truly missed!
