Bobby will be greatly missed. You have my deepest sympathy. Beth, anything at all you need, please don’t hesitate. Hugs
I worked at Vann for a short time and did breakfast duty with Mr. Walker. He was a joy to be around. The kids loved him and his teachers did too. Prayers of comfort for his family.
He will never be forgotten
Beth……our love and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Beth my prayers are with you during this time of loss & your journey ahead. May you feel God’s comfort.
Praying for you during this time. May God comfort you.
My family loved Mr.Walker, even in the short time we knew him at school. He will not be forgotten and our prayers go out to all the family who will feel his loss.
I am sorry about your loss. Mr. Walker was the last principal I worked for in my career and one of my favorites. He was a wonderful man and great boss to work for. My prayers are with all of you during this time.
Mr.Walker will be truly missed. My sister now Prinipal Nekia Patton and I worked under him at Getwell Elementary in Memphis Tennessee. He gave my sister and I leadership roles that lead us to move forward to do great things. We both appreciated him and communicated that to him. He was truly a prompt, positive, and persistent individual that loved children. He wanted the best for his teachers and students at all times.
