Gregory John Walker, 77, of Roswell passed away peacefully on July 15th surrounded by loved ones.
Greg was born to the late Kenneth and Ruth Walker on April 8, 1945, in Madison, WI, and grew up in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He found his home in Atlanta in 1979, when he moved there for work.
Greg is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Kristine Leas.
His memory will be cherished by his wife Janice; brother, Ken; daughters, Stacy Walker (Dan Donaldson) and Tiffany Bennett (Andrew); step-daughter, Whitney Bryant (David); grandchildren: Sophie, James, and Matthew, and many extended family members and friends.
Greg was an optimistic man who lived his life to the fullest and appreciated all that he had. He loved his business and his clients so much that he never retired. His clients were his friends, and he understood how lucky he was to work with and serve people he truly liked.
More than business, though, he adored his family beyond measure. He was surrounded by love and joy. He enjoyed lunches with his brother Ken regularly, where they would share memories and talk sports and politics. His daughters, Stacy and Tiffany, both in California, called him every day, and he would interrupt whatever he was doing to answer their calls. His love for his grandkids was unmatched, and he always wanted even more time with them. Greg felt lucky to have worked with his “bonus” daughter Whitney for the last 12 years, but he really couldn’t wait to get home every night to see Janice. Every plan he made was to make sure she was happy, got to do amazing things, and that she was taken care of no matter what. He never stopped telling everyone how blessed he was to have her.
Greg’s easy smile and genuine concern for others will be missed by all who knew him.
The family will receive friends on August 6th from 2 PM until 3 PM at Roswell Funeral Home. Services will be held at 3pm in Roswell Funeral Home’s Chapel. There will be light refreshments served following the service for friends and family who would like to stay and share memories.

Services have been entrusted to the care of Roswell Funeral Home, 950 Mansell Road, Roswell, Georgia 30076.
