He possessed a strong faith, which was his guiding principles throughout his simple life. He instilled in his children those same values of faith, hard work, and caring for others. To say that he was an avid Cardinals fan is an understatement. He cherished rooting for his beloved team and could be caught wearing his cardinal hat most days. He also loved traveling with Iva during their retirement. On a whim they would hop in their car and travel our beautiful country. Some of their favorite places were the Smokey Mountains, Maine, the Upper Peninsula in Michigan and visiting their son in Georgia. Family was always the center of his life and he cherished time with them, especially when he could take them all out for dinner. Survivors include: three children, C. Wesley Walker and his wife Renee of Flowery Branch, Ga., Susan L. Glawson and her husband Keith of Tuscumbia, Mo., and Lynn M. Saucier and her husband Randy of Holts Summit, Mo.; one sister, Rosemary Strobel and her husband Herb of Lohman, Mo.; two grandchildren, Abigail Glawson and Logan Saucier; and several nieces and nephews.
