Peace Mr Walker

As a member of local 14 I had the great privilege to consider myself a friend of John Walker. He was always fun to be around. John always had a great story to tell and when you happened to run in to at the store he was always a true gentleman. John was the best of a great generation of men. And that photo is perfect.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
