After a long illness Roosevelt "Bay" Walker entered into eternal rest on the evening of March 3, 2010 (one day after his 63rd birthday).
Roosevelt Walker affectionately known by his family and friends as "Bay" was born on March 2, 1947 in Keysville, Georgia to the late Ed Walker Jr. and the late Maggie Coley Walker.
