Philip Walker Obituary
Philip graduated from Austintown Fitch High School and retired after 40 years of service as a supervisor with General Motors in 2008. He belonged to the VFW in Farrell, Pennsylvania and the Elks Lodge in Canton, Ohio. A big sports fan, Philip travelled with his wife to California, New York, Texas, Florida and other places to watch the professional football games; Steelers were his favorite. Known for his love of automobiles, he was an avid collector of pictures from the 1940s and model cars. More than anything else, he loved his wife Doris, and they enjoyed watching action movies together, travelling, playing his trumpet and helping with the garden.
Precious memories of Philip live on with his beloved wife, Doris A. (Cannimore) Walker, whom he married February 13, 2002; four children: Gina Walker-Dancy (Donnie) of Howland, Lisa Walker of Youngstown, Philip T. Walker, Jr. (Lori) of Warren, Sheraill Fresher of Warren; seven grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren; a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends; and his very special friend, Arthur McDonald of New Castle, Pennsylvania.
His parents precede him in death.
Calling hours are 4:00 to 5:00 pm Monday, December 22, 2025 at Staton-Borowski Funeral Home, where services will begin at 5:00 pm Monday, with Bishop Sammie L. Smith officiating. All who knew and loved Philip are welcome to attend and celebrate his incredible life.
Philip will be laid to rest at a later date at Tod Homestead Cemetery.
