Robert Emanuel Walker

Deeply beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother Robert “Bob” E. Walker, 82, passed away in the early hours of June 13, 2026 surrounded by his loved ones. Born on June 1, 1944 of Vinco, Pennsylvania, Robert will be forever remembered as a man dedicated to the love and support of his family–a man who would do whatever he could to see smiles growing on the faces of his loved ones.

A proud Navy man and lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars American Legion Post 206, Robert served nobly in the Caribbean on the USS Taconic as a Petty Officer Culinary Specialist before working as a dedicated UPS driver until his retirement. He is remembered by his crewmates and coworkers as dutiful and reliable–a testament to his hard-working attitude that many in his life recognize.

Survived by his loving wife Wanda Walker, of whom he married in August of 1966 and spent 60 marvelous years of steadfast devotion with, and their three daughters Robin Buckmaster, Denise Santivasci, and Tammy Barkwill as well as their respective husbands Irvin Buckmaster, John Santivasci III, and John Barkwill Jr., Robert will be deeply missed by every member of his family, including his five grandchildren Justin Barkwill, Nicholas Santivasci, Brandon Buckmaster, Dakota Barkwill, and Miranda Buckmaster, who will remember him for his endless outpouring of love that made every visit to their house at the top of the hill in Chesapeake Beach feel like a gift.

Following Robert’s final wishes, no memorial service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any memorial contributions be made in Robert Walker’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America at alzfdn.org/donate/, who fight ceaselessly to help those impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease.
