Our loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away on Tuesday, August 11,2026. Age 90 years.
Jack was born in Saginaw on January 15, 1936, the son of the late Herbert and Esther (Hauman) Walker. He married the love of his life, Norma Jean Walker, on January 15, 1955. Norma preceded him in death on April 8, 2024. He was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Hemlock, where he served as a Trustee. He worked for General Motors for 33 years, retiring in 1986. Jack enjoyed traveling with Norma. He also enjoyed the outdoors, where he spent many days farming, cutting wood, and hunting. He also looked forward to time spent with the “Coffee Club at the Elevator.” Most of all, he was a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and enjoyed spending time with his family.
