LUCERO, DAVID David Lucero, son of Ann Chavez Lucero and the late Gabriel Lucero, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2014, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He retired after a teaching career that included work with APS and charter schools - often making use of his advanced training in the field of special education. He always put the needs of his students ahead of all else. Brilliant with words and lightning fast in repartee, response or humor, he could be sparkingly smart and funny in company or incisive and persuasive in serious discussion or debate. Always there to help others in need, David seemed meticulous about not wanting to impose or become a burden when he needed anything for himself. Friends will always remember and be inspired by his efforts to help others who were in need or who were down on their luck. He willingly did whatever he could to help those who found themselves the underdog in difficult circumstances. He was not afraid to speak up or pitch in to come to the assistance of anyone faced with injustice. An admirer of Thomas Jefferson, David also seemed to have sworn endless opposition to any form of tyranny over the human mind. He was likewise persistent in doing everything possible to cope with or overcome his last illness. Cancer that had been diagnosed and treated in 2008 was at first considered to be in full remission. But, sadly, his cancer recurred last year and spread, while David did all that he could to cooperate with caregivers and to reassure those around him. Those who loved David and cherished his special gifts to the world are grateful to his care team and the staff of Hospice of the Sandias. David's life will be celebrated at 3 p.m. Thursday, September 11, 2014 at FRENCH - University. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to make contributions in memory of David Lucero to New Mexico Legal Aid, www.nmlegalaid.org or to Catholic Charities of New Mexico, www.ccasfnm.org.

WALKER, JOHNNY R. On August 30, 2014, Bernalillo County Fire Fighter, Johnny R. Walker, was called for his last alarm. He is survived by his spouse, Ginger Walker of Cedar Crest; children, Morgan and Madison Walker and Wyatt Briggs; mother Mary and husband Jack Creighton of Belen; brothers, Jerry Walker and wife Beth of New Bern, NC; and Gary Creighton and wife, Ginger, of Portales; sisters, Debra Lewis and husband Hank of Portland, TX; and Sharon Jaynes and husband, Jim of Los Lunas. Mr. Walker was preceded in death by his father, Lee Roy Walker. Johnny, 57, a long-term resident of Cedar Crest was a Lieutenant in the Bernalillo County Fire department and served for 24 years. Johnny was also in the process of becoming a Taskforce Leader for the Wildland Firefighting team when he succumbed to cancer. If you ever heard "Fire Inspection!", Johnny was close by. Most importantly, Johnny had the biggest heart and would never say an unkind word about anyone. He was loved by all who met him and will be missed, especially, as Johnny would say, by his "beautiful bride". Johnny was the love of Ginger's life. Together they shared a vision for their picturesque mountain property; a project on which they were working when Johnny passed. With the help of his brothers and sisters from the Fire Department their vision will become a reality and he will soon be able to view the finished project from heaven. Special thanks to the BCFD Fire Department, BCSO brothers and sisters, and APSPD and APS colleagues who have helped through this time. Johnny will be honored by the Bernalillo County Commission with a Proclamation declaring September 9th as "Johnny Walker Day".

He played clarinet in the Purdue marching band throughout college, where the band played each year at the Indianapolis 500 opening ceremonies. In 1960, he married his high school sweetheart, Cheryl Cumerford. Following graduation, they moved to Albuquerque, NM, and Terry worked at Sandia National Laboratories. From there, he worked at Kodak in Rochester, New York on the lunar orbiter program plotting Apollo landing sites on the moon. Terry and Cheryl returned to New Mexico, where he joined Public Service Company of New Mexico in 1969 as a special project engineer. Terry was an exceptional engineer, rising to District Vice President of PNM, owning two engineering firms and traveling the world. He served as PNM's division manager in Deming, NM, from 1971 to 1974, and then moved to Farmington to oversee the construction and operation of San Juan Generating station as plant manager and then District Vice President. He continued his interest in power plant operations, managing a power plant in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. Upon return to New Mexico, he worked as Manager of Electrical Engineering at Bridges & Paxton, sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience in electrical design and management. After retirement, he continued to do consulting and design for various projects with other engineers.
