To the Walker Family, my deepest condolences on Rick's passing. I knew Rickie, Kenny and Judy in their early years in Audubon as our fathers were friends from Audubon HS and each served in WW II. My parents lived in Pennsauken but my father was a big sports fan and loved to attend Audubon football and basketball games (which I also attended). We usually stopped at the Walker house prior to Audubon football games and I know that the Walkers shared meals with my family at their house. Because I was closest to Rick's age (2 months younger), we became friends in our youth. I am happy to read that Rick made a positive impact on many with his Christian influence and his love of our Lord. Even though I've been in Colorado since 1971, I will always remember the Walker family and especially my time with Rick in our youth.
Rick was a wonderful guy.I will always remember the humor, and jokes ,as well as his love for all people. He would always sneak up on me at church and start rubbing my neck and realizing how tight my neck and started massaging it really hard til it hurting after he left my neck always felt better. I will always love him.
Naomi please accept my deepest condolences,love and prayers for you and your family. Love and hugs to all of you. God wrap your loving arms around Naomi at this difficult time! We love you all! Rick will be missed. Until we meet again!
Naomi, so sorry for. Your loss Rick was a very nice man. I enjoyed seeing and speaking with him at our Reunions. He will be missed. May God give you strength to get through this trying time. 🙏🙏🙏
A great man this wor
A Great man, who this world will truly miss! Praying for you Naomi, and your family
We are so sad to hear of Rick's passing. Him and Naomi have been neighbors and friends for years. I will truly miss his comments (usually sarcastic) on his way up to the church. Please acceptour heart felt condolences and prayers during this dificult time.
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know Rick since I was little when he married my cousin Naomi. Just the thought of coming home to visit Chews and Rick not being there is hard to wrap my mind around. I know you’ll experience the most amazing Christmas alongside my parents and our loved ones! But you will be greatly missed…until we meet again!
The Bragg family sends our most sincerest condolences to the Walker family.

For 28 years you have been a part of our family. Sitting on your floor playing with my gymnastic Barbie with my dearest friend Kara, your granddaughter that walks in your footsteps. Camping trips, fires and many laughs. Mr. Walker was absolutely loved and adored by each and every person he encountered. Sending lots of love to the family of Mr. Walker. Fly high, and continue to bless everyone with your charm. You will surely be missed by all.

Rick Walker was the kindest man you could ever know. He was positive, loving, giving and the height of Christian living. Always willing and caring. He was a loving support to us all. I'm sure Our Lord is looking at that beautiful smile in heaven. Until we meet again Gary and Jean Kinney
Rick was larger than life! I remember his jokes, his kindness, his hugs, his faith, his support, his laughter and his smile. His happiness just brought joy to everyone around him. He was the reason we found Chews Methodist. We remember our first time there and how he welcomed us and made us feel at home. He treated our kids like they were his own and our boys just absolutely loved him, as did we. He will be missed! Love Jennifer & John Crispaldi
A true Christian man! He touched the lives of so many people! Every time I think of him I smile! Rick, we will miss you! Until we meet again!
Rick was such a beacon of light to everyone who had the pleasure to know him. I’ll miss his humor…always cracking jokes. He loved to laugh and lived a full life surrounded by so many who loved him!
Our deepest and sincere condolences to the entire Walker family. Rick was an awesome guy. May he rest in peace ❤️🙏🏻 Carole & John
