Daddles, You would have loved our new bird dog and our daily walks in the woods. Bird dogs, forests, trucks, backroads, deer, and even ticks, remind me of all the times you took me along on your adventures. I enjoyed every minute (except for the ticks, I guess). I am forever grateful for your easy smile and generosity of spirit. You are well loved and well remembered still. Miss you so much.

Sending my love for daddles, he was a wonderful person and I wish I got to spend more time with him. He was there when I first learned how to tie my shoe, and I just wish we could've shared more milestones together. He lived a long and meaningful life and he will never ever be forgotten.

Scott gave me my second haircut around 1954. He cut my hair for over 50 years. I remember asking him if he was ever going to retire and he said not until the day I can't stand behind this barber chair.

He was a good man and an Arlington institution. My condolences to the family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Condolences to Mr. Walker's family. He will be missed and was a very good man. He and his wife was friends of my grandparents (Lige & Karelle Walker) who lived in Glen St. Mary, Florida. He often came out with his wife and would cut my uncle's hair (who was also named Scott). He was very much liked and appreciated. God blessings to the family.
