Getting the opportunity to work with Prof. Blakey as a student, research assistant, and friend was a highlight of my law school experience. He taught me an incredible amount about the law that I will try to remember as an attorney and he taught me even more about being a good human being that in his memory I will work to never forget.

Walker was a remarkable colleague who greeted me warmly when I joined the law faculty at UNC 30 years ago. He cared deeply about justice. He gave much to his students and was a devoted coach to moot court teams over the years. He did pioneering work in alternative dispute resolution, working with Elliot Silverstein and other members of the bar to introduce many first year students to concepts they would not otherwise have encountered at a crucial time in their careers. He was a wonderful role model for attention to family, though his great love for Michael. We will miss him a great deal.--Judith Wegner

Professor Blakey was a great teacher and a wonderful person. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to take his class, learn from him, and associate with him. He was always giving and open to his students and the community. My deepest condolences to his family and friends at this time.
God bless Professor Blakey.

Walker's dedication to Michael, and his support for Special Olympics Orange County has been truly inspirational for the 20 years I've known him. Those of us in SOOC will miss Walker deeply. I have no doubt he was a fantastic teacher as well. My condolences to Ann, Jay, and Michael.

I am so fortunate to have known Walker. He gave so much of himself to everyone around him, especially to my brother Mikey. I will greatly miss our Sunday night phone conversations and our "family" get-togethers at Christmas. Following retirement, Walker continued to teach without even knowing. He was a fine, honorable man. My deepest sympathy to Jay, Mikey, and Ann M.

Walker's sensitivity and compassion was an example for many a law student and practicing lawyer. He helped carry the banner for changes to our system of jurisprudence in this state and the country with his activities and his teaching in Dispute Resolution. What a contribution to this world he made!

I graduated from high school with Walker in 1958, here in Barberton Ohio.
He was brillant talented and intense then; I am sure that he carried these assets through life. After graduation, Barberton High School class of 1958, there was no contact, but much to my suprise and pleasure he attended our fifty year reunion. It was great to see him and have, as always, a challenging converstion at the dinner table.
He set a very high performance bar in high school and was particularly gifted in debate and speech, skills I am sure that he carried on to Harvard and law school. I also knew his father, Frank, from employment at PPG here in Barberton fresh out of high school. Like many Walker left us behind here in Ohio in his remarkable education path and career.
I have the greatest admiration for Walker and all his accomplishments!
If you would sent a short resume, I would like to submit Walker for consideration to the local academic hall of fame.

Professor Blakey was my first year small section professor for Contracts. Many great classes, stories, and laughs were shared with Professor Blakey and my class, and they are often the memories that I think of first when Carolina Law comes to mind. He was a great man and will be missed.
My sincerest condolences to Professor Blakey's family.

I had Professor Blakey for a class at UNC Law, as well as traveling to Sydney Australia for the UNC Law summer program. He was an excellent teacher, but an even nicer person. His caring and gentle nature was always evident. He was the embodiment of what a teacher should be and he will be missed.

Each of us fortunate enough to have been part of Walker's life, in whatever form that may have taken, were blessed with the friendship and support of a truly honorable and faithful man. The joy and love and respect he had for Michael was reflected in myriads of other friendships he had with folks around the Country.
He was the ultimate teacher and many of us always just assumed he would be there when it was time to ask, to complain, to cry, or just to talk.
His death leaves a void in the lives of many and I shall miss remember him with love each of remaining days of my life.
