"John you will be missed. We played many a game of darts and it was always fun. You running the Bond Co. Dart League will be remembered for how well it prospered, grew and how the (many) Teams looked to you for your leadership. I am Blessed to have known you.... Rest In Peace!!!"
"John D. Walker was a very good man and I was fortunate to have him as an employee, I never had to give him any orders on what to do he took it on his self, I had 100% trust in John that he would get whatever needed done. All of my location owners had 100% trust with John and would always praise to me on how good of a guy John was and yes I 100% agreed and it would end up being a long conversation on how good of a person John was, John was just simply as good as it gets and yes I will deeply miss him.

"Johnny Walker, I'm going to miss you my IU Hoosier friend. The NCAA tourney will never be the same for me. 21 years of watching every 1st round game together, with plenty of food and drinks on our two-day yearly holiday. Not to mention the high school shootouts, the years of working together, and the friendship we had. I have never met a more kinder person than (our) UNCLE JOHN. Even though we were not family it sure felt like it. RIP JW . In this Illinois house you will be missed by me as well as my family. It was an honor and a privilege to call you my good friend.. Gibby"
