Charles Kenneth "Kenny" Walker
Charles Kenneth "Kenny" Walker, 94, of Noblesville, passed away on Tuesday, February 10, 2015. He was born on March 13, 1920 to Wessie and Meda (Helfer) Walker in Sheridan, Indiana.
Kenny worked at McDonald Hatchery after graduation from Goldsmith High School in 1938. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during WWII from January 14, 1942 until November 7, 1945. He was a Sergeant with the 38th Infantry Division in the South Pacific.
Before opening Walker's Garage in 1956, Kenny worked at Foxworthy Ford in Sheridan. This became Walker's Mower and Engine in 1971. After retiring in 1980, he began his woodworking hobby that turned into a life-long passion.
Kenny attended Cicero Christian Church, and was a member of Hills Baptist Church in Kirklin. He was a lifetime member of the Sheridan American Legion, and past president of the Sheridan Rotary Club. Most will remember Kenny as a comedian, storyteller, and extraordinary woodworker.
