James Walton

James H. Walton aka Hank was born on May 2, 1957. He entered into a peaceful rest on July 27, 2022. James was a good brother, uncle and friend who was always there to lend a helping hand to others. He was truly a blessing to have around and always had a smile on his face.

James attended Linden McKinley School. He was employed at Calumet from which he later retired. After retirement, he worked on just “winging it”. He loved swimming and was great at both breaststroke and butterfly styles. He loved skating, playing dominoes, cut-throat spades and tunk, dancing, and was an excellent chess player. He also loved fighting; that’s when they called him “Lil Henry”.
