Elton Roe wrote a sympathy message

“Candy, Sawyer, Whitney, and Family: So sorry to hear of Walker's passing. He was sincerely dedicated to the Hilltop Church and to its preservation. He would insist that the doors of the building be left unlocked as a welcome invitation and sign of trust to the community. Never allowed services to be cancelled for any reason and would be there regardless of weather conditions. Never aspiring to teach from the pulpit, he preferred to teach by an exemplary life. Elton and Kathy Roe”
