Charles H. Walker

Charles H. \u0027Charlie\u0027 Walker went to be with his God early in the morning of Saturday, April 8, 2006. He was born on May 24, 1911, and for all of his ninety-four years, he shared his smile, dignity, love, gentleness, and strength with all who met him. His family, friends, caregivers, and even those who met him casually even once, responded to his joy of life. Charlie was a quietly religious man who lived his spirituality, rather than preaching to others. Charlie was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, and when he was a young lad, his father moved the family to California.
