The soldier against inequality died on September 7, 2010, at the age of 80, victim of a massive heart attack.

A notable friend of the Cuban nation, Walker promoted 21 Friendship Caravans, from 1992 until his death, organized by Pastors for Peace, as a way to circumvent the commercial, economic and financial blockade that affects the island.

He is also recognized for his tireless battle in favor of the freedom of the Five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters then imprisoned in the United States.

He was one of the managers of the Interfaith Foundation for Community Organizing, created in 1967; as well as Associate General Secretary of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States.

Walker stood out in all areas for his defense of the Cuban Revolution, making it his own from the first moments because he was not only a pastor for peace, but also a man who solidly embraced the cause for a better world.
