Kenneth S. Walker

YORK Kenneth Stewart Walker, 77, died suddenly on September 20, 2011. He is survived by his wife, Lersy Salamo Walker; his children, Kenneth Jr, Eric (Carol), Susan Walker, and Jennifer Carrozza (Dan); grandchildren, Laura, Schuyler, Kelsey, Daniel, Tierney, Lisa, A.J., and Declan; great-grandchildren, Michaela and Mariah; stepchildren, Monique Lambert and Rey Garcia; step grandchildren, Serina, Neela, and Lana. He is survived also by siblings, Ted (Helene), Barbara Walker LaRue, and Dennis (Mary); and many nieces and nephews. He was also husband to the late Elizabeth Coffman Walker. He was originally from Philadelphia, and graduated from Jules E. Mastbaum High School, Philadelphia, in 1952, where he was a standout football player and art student. After turning down both football and art scholarships, Ken was drafted into the Army and stationed in San Francisco. It was in the Army where he learned the printing trade. He went on to work in that field for over 40 years including a stint teaching printing at a high school in NJ. Ken was first and foremost a good husband and father. A hard worker, he had a zest for living that couldn't be matched. He was superman. A big, strong, healthy hero who stayed active and involved until the end. Everyone will miss his corny jokes and pranks. He was a true gentleman the likes of which we shall not see again. Services will be held at The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 932 Church Road, York, on Saturday at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition can be made.
