Walter Walker Obituary

My deepest sympathy to the Walker family Wally was always a gentleman in our associations in the engr. dept at NWBell. WE worked together for many years although I have been retired for twenty years I remember Wallys Smilling face .

God bless you all

Even though I have been away from Minneapolis for many years whenever I think of Plymouth Church I think of Wally. What a "class act" in every sense of the word he was.



Wally was one of the first persons I met in the church and was a steady, casual friend in all circumstances.



I am happy to hear that he was so happy in the last years of his life on this earth and pray that the fullness of joy which he always radiated here is but a minor glimpse of a fullness of joy which further awaits all who put their hope in the promises of our Faith.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the whole family. I have very fond memories of Wally growing up. I will never forget his eyes, his smile and his warm heart. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I have known Wally and the family for a very long time and we have all shared much at Plymouth Church.

He was a good friend and a loyal member of the church and he will be missed greatly. My husband Ed and I always had fun with Wally and enjoyed his smiling face as well as his cheery conversation.

The Lord's blessing on the whole family.

Love,

Joyce Haftings

Dear Susan & all the family: Wally was salt of the earth, a gentleman & a good friend. When I worked downtown, for Pillsbury, I would see Wally in the skyway, sometimes, at lunch time, & he always had a big smile, and a "hi, Steph" that put a vitamin in my own step, because he exuded confidence in his manner. Alan & I have known Wally since 1964, when we first came to Plymouth Church. Steadfast, loyal, always there for everyone. To his children, I want to say that I feel sure Wally was extremely proud of each of you, & what good things you have done with your lives. To Susan, I want to say, you were a rock for Wally, & I feel sure he was for you, also. Of course each of us wishes you had had more years together, but you made the most of the time you were given, and God in His wisdom gave you each the strength you needed at this certain juncture in your earthly walk together. Alan & I also recall the wonderful birthday party, last November, the loving tributes to you both, by Wally's children, & Susan's. Susan, you are a strong, loving lady. You have set the standard for dealing with these sad, agonizing times. You have taught us many things. Please know that Wally was more thankful than he could say, perhaps, for all you did to brighten his last years. Our sympathy to you, in addition, in the loss of your daughter-in-law, and I trust your trip to DesMoines was not too difficult. We do not want to be in the way, Susan, but please know Alan & I stand ready to do whatever we can for you & Wally's kids. We realize there will be much to continue to think about, but if in any way we can relieve you, take some pressure off, or just be here for you to have friends to talk with, please know we are that, & you have our deepest sympathy & love. Please call on us at any time. Stephanie & Alan Gordon

Wally took my friend Dee Millard and I to our first Engineers Club meeting in downtown Minneapolis. He was so supportive when other gentlemen members would ask, "And are you someone's secretary?" and we would proudly state we were Engineers at Northwestern Bell (~1977). He always had a great sense of humor and was so friendly. He will be missed.
