Herbert William "Herb" Walker, 105, of Diamond passed away June 13, 2021 at the Hubbard Hospice House, Charleston.
He was born in Quincy, West Virginia and was a retired conductor with 33 years of service with New York Central Railroad. Herb was a charter member, deacon and trustee of Diamond Baptist Church. Herb was heavily involved with the American Baptist Men and their Disaster Relief. He put in many hours of work at Camp Cowen and Parchment Valley with the ABM. He loved the outdoors and took many fishing trips to Canada. At the ripe age of 99, Herb was still hunting turkey and deer with his family.
