His enthusiasm was infectious, and he was great when he got over excited - he and James Hunt were a great team, with Hunt trying (and usually failing) to rein in Walker's enthusiasm.

He'll be missed, but he made it to 97 before he crossed the finish line.

A legend; very knowledgeable....and a bloomin good laugh at times as well.
