Greg was born and raised in Melbourne Australia. An avid athlete and astute student, he was awarded a scholarship to attend General Motors Institute in Flint Michigan, the launch of his thirty-year engineering career with General Motors. In addition to his work at GM’s Tech Center and Detroit offices, he and his family lived in Mexico City during the 1970’s where he designed engine factories in Toluca and Saltillo, Mexico. Following his retirement in 1986, Greg and Phyllis purchased their property on Squaw Beach in Big Bay, MI. while owning and operating a bed and breakfast in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan. They retired full-time to Big Bay, Michigan and Green Valley, Arizona in 1998
Greg loved his family, well-designed cars, well-built houses, tennis played on grass, pickleball with friends, NFL football, fishing of any sort, walks in the desert with his dogs, and long road trips. Most of all he loved being with his wife, his children, grandchildren, and friends at the end of a warm summer day during that special time right before dinner.
Gregory Walker is survived by his wife of sixty-one years, Phyllis Marie Walker; Greg’s four children, Mitch Walker (Judi); Mike Walker (Wendy); Paula Walker McDevitt (Dan); and Marty Walker (Charlotte); ten grandchildren Caitlin Walker, Patrick and Gregory Walker, Chris and Matt Walker, Megan Sharelis (Michael) and Kelli McDevitt, Michael, Daniel and Joey Walker; one brother Jack Walker, and two sisters Betty Viney, and Glenda Stratton. Greg was preceded in death by his parents, Henry Thomas Walker and Nellie Katherine Walker; sister Joyce Stratton.

Michael Steber officiating followed by the burial in the Powell Township Cemetery. Lunch will be served in the parish hall afterward.
