Robert A. Walker

Robert A. Walker, 90 of Zanesville, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2025, at his residence.

He was born on October 1, 1934, in Malta, Ohio, son of the late William C. Walker and Etta Medley. Robert was a member of St. Nicholas Church and a graduate of Lash High School in 1952. He worked at Big Bear as a manager, Meadow Gold Dairy, and Borden Dairy for many years in sales and delivery. He enjoyed rooting for his Cincinnati Bengals, Reds, and Ohio State Buckeyes.

He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren endlessly.
