His death climaxed an illness of about 15 months. In November of 1935 he entered the Nova Scotia Sanitarium at Kentville for treatment, returning to his home a few months later where he remained until his passing. "Tom", as he was familiarly known to a host of friends, was possessed of a very genial and likeable disposition. Popular in the sporting life of the town he was for many years first baseman of the Bridgewater baseball team and an outstanding player. He was also a former member of the hockey managing committee and for two years manager of the Black Hawks hockey team. He was a member of the Bridgewater Fire Department. Mr. Walker was educated at the Bridgewater schools and later took a course in creamery work at Guelph, Ont. Previous to his illness he was employed with the LaHave Creamery. He was a son of Mrs. Walker and the late Charles Walker and besides his mother is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Flora Parsons of Middleton, and an eight year old son, Frederick; also two sisters, Sadie, wife of J.D. MacKenzie, M.L.A. of Middleton, and Florence at home, and five brothers, Charles and Donald of the Windsor Creamery; Fletcher, of the C.N.R. freight department here; Joseph and Ralph at home. A large number attended the funeral on Saturday afternoon which was held from his mother's residence. Services at the house and at the graveside were conducted by Rev. G.W. Bullock, rector of Holy Trinity church, of which the deceased was a member. Members of the church choir, accompanied by the organist, Miss Erna Dauphinee, rendered two hymns "There is no Night in Heaven" and "The King of Love My Shepherd Is." Burial was made at Brookside Cemetery and a large concourse of friends and the Bridgewater Fire Department, who attended the funeral in a body, followed the remains to its final resting place. The beautiful floral tributes received by the bereaved family bore striking testimony to the high esteem in which the late Mr. Walker was held by all who knew him. The pall bearers were: V.L. Pearson, Reginald Hebb, Chester Baker and Maxwell Haughan. Transcribed by Linda Bedford
