William J. “Billy” Walker, Jr.

After high school Billy Jr. enrolled in fire school and volunteered as a firefighter at Cherry Hill Fire Department 13-5, Pennsauken Fire Department 11-6 and Maple Shade Fire Department Station 101. He was employed by Exceptional Medical Support as an EMT in Atlantic City, NJ. Billy Jr. was loved by his co-workers in Atlantic City for his good humor and passion to help those in need. While still a young man, Billy Jr. stood tall among his peers ready to protect those in need. When he wasn’t working, Billy Jr. was a devoted family man and had a great love of family, friends and community that went unmatched. He was an inspirational young man and will be dearly missed by all.
