As we extend love, prayers and sincerest condolences to the Walker family, may the Lord keep you in care and comfort. Elliott "Duke" Walker was a hard hitting line backer as well as a solid teammate and friend. He had a wonderful heart, and it was almost impossible to be around him without smiling or laughing. We'll miss you Brother. Rest in peace. Rest in power. Rev Dr Del Barksdale PC '87 # 15

E, Brian and Richard please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Your dad was a good friend and great coach. He could always lighten up a room with his laugh and sense of humor. He will always be remembered as a Syrupmaker to us!! Tommy and Julie York
