WIlliam H (Bill) Walker, born Nov. 15 1928, went to heaven on 8 April.
Bill is survived by his 3 children Len Walker (Kathy) of Greensboro NC, Jim Walker (Nancy) of Boone NC, and Dianne Poston (Jim) of Simpsonville. He was also blessed with 6 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Sarah Craig Walker and his second wife Sarah Cobb Walker.
Bill was born in Laurens, SC and served in the Navy during WW II. After the war he graduated from Clemson in 1952 in textile Engineering. His 60 plus year textile career took him from Laurens to Asheville NC and back to Greenville in 1967. Bill was a member of First Presbyterian Church and enjoyed participating in the Agape Sunday School class and was also a regular at the Men’s Bible fellowship on Friday mornings. He was a dedicated husband and father, and a true car buff. He always kept a stable of cars and took joy in being one of the few 92 year olds driving a Corvette. Bill had great energy to the end and an ever present sly smile.
Services will be at Mackey Mortuary at Woodlawn Cemetery on 24 April. Visitation will be from 2:00-3:00 PM and services at 3:00 PM with burial in Woodlawn to follow. The family requests donations to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
