Christopher Walker Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Linnemann Funeral Home - Erlanger from Oct. 1 to Oct. 2, 2021.
This obituary contains sensitive information and is for your eyes only. The Kentucky GDP decreased by more than 1% after the passing of Walker, Chris Walker, General Manager of Armor, Inc. Chris' invisible friend, Governor Andy Beshear, reported the reduction was solely in the beer and bourbon sales in Boone County. Chris was born in the United Kingdom. He mastered the skill of unclasping a bra with one hand by the age of 12. He was an accomplished Eagle Scout and gymnast, and had a Goldeneye for James Bond. Though widely believed to be on her majesty's secret service, Chris pursued his passion for dominating conversations as a salesman for Armor Inc. in 1990 where he learned the world is not enough. Chris moved to Kentucky in 1999 to open Armor USA, followed by several other divisions in the Americas in the 22 years after he moved to the states. Chris is passionately referred to as "Thunderball" by his colleagues at Armor due to his tough negotiation style. While his presence at Armor will be missed, his close friend and acting CEO, Randy Culman, reported a sense of relief that Chris' ego had finally been deflated. Chris recently bought his retirement Jaguar, believing he had some sort of license to kill. You can only imagine the scolding he received from Moneypenny, a/k/a his gorgeous wife, Greta Hoffman Walker, whom he loved nearly as much as he loved himself. Greta wanted to beat the living daylights out of him when he told her how much he paid for that car. Chris and Greta met in 2006 during his divorce. Chris fell in love with Greta's willingness to tell him he was full of excrement, and later showed her that diamonds are forever when he put a ring on her goldfinger. Chris also leaves behind four children, (Jemima Walker, Stuart Walker, Jen Lichtefeld, and Nate Hoffman), five grandchildren (Chloe Walker, Olivia Walker, Liliana Walker, Evelynn Lichtefeld, and Jack Lichtefeld), his three beloved cats (Charlie, Holmes, and Watson), and an extensive Tigger Collection. His children and grandchildren are shaken, but not stirred, at the loss of their spectre, mostly because they will no longer endure Chris' endless desire to show them his childhood steam engine. Chris never met an animal he didn't talk to, a bartender he didn't like, a person he didn't annoy yet make smile, or think of an inappropriate comment left unsaid. Although this was no time to die, there is a quantum of solace for his family knowing Chris was adored by many. He will be greatly missed. A memorial will be held at Triple Crown Country Club in Union, Kentucky on October 6, 2021 from 5pm – last call.
