The Walkup Family. Judge Christine Miller and I were so very sorry to hear of his passing. He was an asset to the Marshals Service and a wonderful man who was much loved by all of us here at court. We missed his smiling face and good humor so much when he retired. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Rest assured he is at peace with the Lord.
