The governor made several Twitter posts remembering his father:
My dad and mom went to everything my brother and I were in over the years (and did the same for our kids too) — from sporting events, to band concerts to Scout ceremonies. I will miss him always being there… pic.twitter.com/RGscYVEYzd

Our father loved getting together with his family. Even with all of his health issues, he could strike up a conversation with anyone and usually had a good pun or two. David & I will have to keep up that tradition. pic.twitter.com/uyIwXxCqWp

The Walker campaign also suspended campaign appearances Sunday and they may be canceling campaign appearances on Monday as well.
The RightWisconsin family would like to offer the Walker family our sincere condolences for their loss and our prayers. May they take comfort from their faith and the Rev. Walker’s faith in an eternal life with the God he served so well.
