The Bakersfield Californian
Walker, Lewis "Lou"    
 
Lewis (Lou) Walker 
July 18, 1931 - January 16, 2006 

Lou was born in Itasca, Texas in 1931, and was one of six children. Of his 
immediate family he is survived by his two sisters Doris and Coralee Partlow, 
and was under the care of his sister Doris in Tuscan, Arizona, when he passed 
away after being treated in intensive care once again for breathing 
complications related to his long-time battle with emphysema. In addition to 
his sisters, Lou is survived by his four remaining children, Teri Walker, Jay 
Walker, Raequell (Rocky) Duran and Michael Pendleton. Lou joined the armed 
forces at a young age, and enjoyed travel to Korea, Louisiana and especially 
Florida where he spent plenty of time at the beach as a lifeguard. In later 
years he worked at Starkist Foods and Packard Bell before moving to 
Bakersfield in 1968 and working for the Santa Fe Railroad until retirement. 
Following retirement, Lou became the unofficial city host of the Southwest and 
Downtown Bakersfield establishments. Lou made it his job to say hello to 
lovely ladies and many longtime friends on a daily basis. He also enjoyed 
spending time with his "running buddies", friends Bo Bispo and Charlie Pixler. 
There is sure to be a surplus of lemons and salt now that he's gone. He used 
to say he liked Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads. We used to say you can always 
tell a Texan because you can't tell him anything... Graveside services will be 
held on Friday, February 10th, at 10:00 a.m., at Greenlawn Southwest Mortuary, 
2739 Panama Lane, Bakersfield, CA 93313.
