Harry Walker
It is with immense sorrow that we share the news of the passing of Harry Laverne Walker, aka “Hook” on July 13, 2025, at Norfolk General Hospital surrounded by his family and many friends.
Born on September 24, 1951, Harry was a man of character, hardworking, as tough as nails, with a heart of gold that shone through every facet of his life.
Harry is survived by his children, Kerry, Jason, and Cassy, who will continue to keep his memory alive.
His love for his family was evident in the precious time he spent with his grandsons Hunter and Hayes (grampa’s boys!). He was a proud grandfather.
He was a man who cherished time spent with family and friends, sharing coffee, laughter, and stories. His influence and spirit will continue to live on through them.
Harry was predeceased by his parents, Ken and Iva (Walsh), his brothers Jim and Gord and sisters Shirley and Florence.
His sisters, Sue (Albert) Macdonald, Barb (Bob) Powell, Sharon/Pat Stephens, survive him and are left to remember their little brother’s enduring spirit. As well as his many nieces, nephews and cousins.
A man of vigorous energies, Harry was fond of physical activities and enjoyed tree trimming and removal.
It was a testament to his robust personality and strength.
His tireless dedication to everything he undertook was widely recognized and respected.
Harry will always be remembered for his generosity, resilience, love for life, and laughter. Harry left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. As we mourn the loss of a remarkable man, we also celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, service, and unwavering bravery.
May his memory be a beacon of hope and strength for all who knew him.
He will be dearly missed.
Harry’s family would like to thank Peter Trefiak from the bottom of their hearts. Peter selflessly cared for Harry during his battle with cancer and was by his side throughout it all. Best friends right until the end.
At Harry’s request, cremation has taken place and no service will be held.
