Just wanted to let you guys know that my neighbor and friend Chuck Walker Passed away this past Wednesday. Walker Hill on the trail got its name from him. He worked on many, many Jamborees and this was his spot. If I recall correctly Chuck told me he had only missed two Jamborees in the last 50 years. I will miss dropping in on him to give him trail reports when returning home from a fun weekend of wheeling. Anyway next time you travel up Walker hill take a second and think of Chuck, He was a wonderful man.
WALKER, Charles R.
In Sacramento, on September 7, 2005. He was a native Sacramentan, age 82. He was in the US Coast Guard, served in WWII and loved this country and what it stands for. But more than any other thing, he will be remembered for the incredible love and devotion shown to his wife Pat. His wonderful caring for her during her 15 years with Alzheimer's was and is an inspiration to us all. Dad, Goodbye for now! He now joins his beloved wife, the late Patricia M. Walker and is lovingly survived by his children, Robert Walker, Patricia Copus, Katie Walker, Mary Butera and Barbara Schuh, as well as their respective spouses, Deborah Walker, William Copus, Robert Butera and Daniel Schuh. He was the beloved brother of Robert Walker, Amos Walker, Jeanie Walker and Gerald Walker. He was proud of his seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren and will be deeply missed.
