WARREN -- Philip T. Walker Sr., 91, entered into eternal rest Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, at home, surrounded by angels and his devoted family.
He was born Dec. 2, 1934, in Youngstown, the son of Roscoe and Wilma Manley Walker and the eldest grandson of Lucy and Edward Manley. Edward served as one of the Buffalo Soldiers.
Philip graduated from Austintown Fitch High School and retired after 40 years of service as a supervisor with General Motors in 2008. He belonged to the VFW in Farrell, Pa., and the Elks Lodge in Canton. A big sports fan, Philip traveled with his wife to California, New York, Texas, Florida and other places to watch professional football games; the Steelers were his favorite. Known for his love of automobiles, he was an avid collector of pictures from the 1940s and model cars.
More than anything else, he loved his wife Doris, and they enjoyed watching action movies together, travelling, playing his trumpet and helping with the garden.
Precious memories of Philip live on with his beloved wife, Doris A. Cannimore Walker, whom he married Feb. 13, 2002; four children, Gina Walker-Dancy (Donnie) of Howland, Lisa Walker of Youngstown, Philip T. Walker Jr. (Lori) of Warren and Sheraill Fresher of Warren; seven grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends; and his very special friend, Arthur McDonald of New Castle, Pa.
His parents preceded him in death.
Calling hours will be 4 to 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, at Staton-Borowski Funeral Home, where services will begin at 5 p.m. Monday, with Bishop Sammie L. Smith officiating. All who knew and loved Philip are welcome to attend and celebrate his incredible life.
Philip will be laid to rest at a later date in Tod Homestead Cemetery.
