Hardy Walker III was baptized as a young boy shortly after his father's death in 1972. But as a Grissom High School senior in 1981 Walker, one of the city's more celebrated football prospects who played offensive tackle at Alabama, decided to be saved again after hearing James Robinson deliver a sermon at Willowbrook Baptist Church.

"Gentle giant, that's what he was,'' said Hoss Johnson, an opposing football player at Butler during their prep days and a Crimson Tide teammate of Walker. "That's what you'll hear from everybody. He was good-hearted. I never saw him mad. He was always a gentleman, didn't cuss. He was always in a good mood.''

I knew Hardy Walker.  Played organized baseball and football with him as a kid, went to a Braves game with him and some other baseball players, knew him at Grissom HS.  He was a big, strong quiet guy that was a lineman at Grissom and Bama.  Grissom coaches also used him on short yardage plays as a RB, like Cody or the Fridge.

Roll Tide, Hardy, Roll Tide.
