Harold Leon Walker, age 94, was born April 26, 1921, and passed away February 15, 2016. Born in Stillwater, Oklahoma, he was the eldest of 16 children of Ethel and Lee Walker. At the age of 16 he left his home to join the CCC, later serving as a medic in the 8th Army Air Force during WWII in England and France. Harold married Norma Lee Billington in 1941 in Salt Lake City. After the war they lived in Superior, Wyoming, where he worked as a coal miner. In 1948 Harold, Norma, and their two sons moved to Casper where he worked for Standard Oil Amoco for 33 years before retiring. He and Norma enjoyed traveling in their motorhome, often with friends.
