I never got to meet my great uncle Bob. My father was Walter Lee Harker Sr. Born 08/13/1925 Two years before Bob was brought into this world. I never got to meet my Gramdfather On the Harker side if the family but did get to meet my grandmother and uncle. The Harkers are true Patriots and loving and compassionate. I wish I had got to meet Bob and his family. But I know Bob is with God and we will meet soon. I'm the last of my family still lefty father,  mother, and sister have passed and not a day goes by I don't miss them. My father taught me life is very precious and to love with all your heart. I wasn't aware that Bob had passed away in 2015. Your family are in my prayers and my condolence for the loss of Bob. I attached my father's military photo. He served both theaters in WWII and the Korean War. And my great great grandfather was brigadier General in the Civil War Charles Garrison Harker. The Harker family dates back to the American Revolutionary War. A lot of Harkers have served in war time including myself. God bless. If anyone in the Harker family would like to email me I can send you photos of Charles Harker as well.

You are going to be missed Gpa, but the memories you gave will last my lifetime; like the time we were out in the sand rail and almost gave mom a heart attack because one of the back tires got really close to a cliff edge and we just laughed as we kept hauling butt, or out riding bikes in the desert or in that awesome VW van, and out on the river with the pontoon boat; and going shooting with the family. And of course will never forget the pig roast and all the catfish fries we had over the years. You lived a great life and left lasting memories and for that I will be thankful. Love ya Grandpa :)

Gonna miss you Gpa, and all the motorcycle riding, and rides in all the interesting desert vehicles you've  had over the years.   Paul and I always had a great time just chatting and hanging out with you and of course shooting too :) We  Love you very much !

Poppy was the greatest man I had the honor of being loved by and cared for by. A honorable man who lived a life so grand and full. Thank you Poppy for everything you have done for me. I love you Poppy and I will see you in Heaven Cowboy.

Rest in peace Bob.  You were a genuine article. Give grandma a hug from us.  - may your family carry your character and memory in their hearts.

Prayers to all during this difficult  time. My thought are with you..

Ohh Poppy! You should've been able to stay forever! I hope Grandma held your hand & I hope she's showing you around, helping you learn the ropes! I'm going to miss you! I love you and I have faith that one day I will get to see your smiling face again. Losing you makes my heart ache but I'm going to keep close all the memories I have, which are a lot! Thank you for being my Grandpa, my dad & my hero!

To the Harker family:
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Met your dad once and he was quite the little gentleman.  May he rest in peace.  I hope you find comfort in the beautiful memories that you will carry a lifetime!

Dad,
You have been in my life a short time but you have put a huge imprint on my life.  I will cherish our quite moments and long talks together.  I love you and will miss you sooooo very much.
Edie
