Col. James F. Walker
Col. James F. Walker
APRIL 19, 1929 - OCTOBER 10, 2011
After suffering a debilitating illness Col. James Walker went to be with His Lord on October 10, 2011. He last resided in Air Force Village II in San Antonio, Texas. James was born to Arthur and Helen Walker on April 19, 1929 in El Paso, Texas. He attended California Military Academy (1944-1945), Boise High School (1946-1949), and New Mexico Military Institute (1949-1953). James served with the US Army Medical Corps from 1953-1986. He was a solo helicopter pilot during the Korean Conflict as well as a veteran of the Vietnam War. Col. Walker was a highly decorated officer who devoted his life to serving his country. James retired to Ephrata, Washington in 1985 where he enjoyed his retirement hunting and fishing and being with his family and friends. He was a very lovable, gentle, and kind-hearted person with a great sense of humor and compassion for everyone around him. He is survived by his wife Ruth; his children James Jr., Glenn, Thomas, Jules, and Kirstie; his brother John; and his grandchildren Shawna Marie, Dora, and Amanda. We miss him and are thankful for all the wonderful memories he leaves behind. Visitation will begin on Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. at Porter Loring Mortuary.
