Rich – Hi!
As you are aware, my father, Governor Dan Walker passed away recently. We have received a lot of inquiries about a service for him here in Illinois. We realize he touched the lives of a lot of people and some may want to pay respects. We are having a service for those that want to attend. Perhaps you are willing to share the information?
Sunday June 7
1 to 4 pm, with a prayer service at 2pm.
Lake Bluff Golf Club
355 W. Washington Avenue
Lake Bluff, Illinois
Thank you,
Will Walker

I always felt bad that Dan Walker has gotten lumped in with Otto Kerner, George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich in that his prison sentence was unrelated to his governmental service. He was convicted of doing something wrong while running a private sector business. Many sources claim that based upon distinctions made in subsequent Federal court decisions that it is uncertain if Kerner would be convicted today.
Rest in Peace.
