Eliga Amos Walker Sr was a kind and thoughtful soul and will be missed and remembered by many lives he touched. He had a laugh that would light the hearts of many. Agood old western with a coca cola on the side made his day! He was filled with many memories he shared with his family. He had all the home remedies to cure a sickness; his children use to say they were the healthiest kids in the neighborhood. He carried a lot of wisdom and always wanted his children to succeed higher than he. His grandchildren were his children and the light of his day.
