William T. Walker was a great man; many would describe him as a firefighter, engineer, and loyal friend. It was sudden when Bill passed away on April 20th this year, and no arrangements were in place. For the last four months, the Walker family has struggled to come up with the funds to cremate Bill and lay him to rest with his wife.
They're asking for your help to finally raise the last portion they need to have some closure with the loss of their father, grandfather, and friend.
