William “Sonny” Walker held a great reverence for family. His father was a Baptist Minister and he encouraged Sonny to have close relationships with fellow church members who became like extended families to him. After graduating from college, Sonny began teaching. He married his childhood sweetheart Lorraine with whom he had four children: Jimmy, William Jr., Cheryl, and Lesli. Later, he would spend a lot of time with his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Even though employment opportunities continued to force him to move to new locations frequently, he did everything he could to make sure his family was provided for.
