The purpose of this site is to remember my father, Derwin James "Jim" Walker Jr. While none of us were prepared to say goodbye, I take comfort in knowing the fullness of my father's life, the number of people he has touched, and the beautiful memories we have that can never be taken away.


While the tears on our faces are not yet dry, we must remember all of the best times we shared with him. I invite everyone to share their thoughts, stories, and anecdotes. Jim's wit, hospitiality and compassion for others knew no limits. Help me to honor him the best ways we know how. Together we can create a living document, a testement to his impact on our lives.
