Alvin Jerone Walker

Alvin Jerone Walker, a resident of Dalton, OH, passed away on July 16, 2021.  He was born in Lynchburg, VA on Easter Sunday, March 28, 1948, resulting in the nickname Bunny.  Al was a caring man who was generous with his time, knowledge and expertise in many areas.  While spending most of his adult life in the Clinton, MD area, he founded three companies:  Master Builders, Action Equipment and Arms International.  He was a lifelong hard worker, coming from a family of bricklayers.  He was viewed as having “hands of gold” due to his impeccable work.  As President of Dalton’s Woodridge Homeowners Association, he was interested in resident’s projects and spent his days stopping by to lend his expertise and advice.  He passed away on a business trip to Maryland and while there, he called every day and asked how things were going in the neighborhood.

Al was adored by his wife Jan and their goldendoodle Teddy.  He loved his close friends and family that includes his daughter and son-in-law Darrine and Gene O’Neill and grandsons Daniel and Dean, all of Odenton, MD, and his daughter and son-in-law Darrile and Mark Papier of Frederick, MD.  In Dalton, his beloved family and friends include
Emily and Cindy Hupp and Noah Lelles.  He is preceded in death by his beloved grandson Dillon Papier.  Al will be laid to rest alongside his mother Marie and father Alfred in the Ft. Lincoln Cemetery located at 3401 Bladensburg Rd, Brentwood, MD.  A graveside service will be held at noon on Thursday, July 22.  In lieu of flowers, Al would prefer donations to the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation in Dillon Papier’s honor.
