60, of Indianapolis, passed away on Sunday, September 29, 2019. He was born on August 3, 1959 to the Late Joseph Walker, Jr. and Janet Walker. Teddy grew up on the west side of Indianapolis in the Chapel Glen area and attended Ben Davis High School. He worked in construction, living to work and to do what he needed to take care of his family. He loved all kinds of sports: playing softball and golf, watching Purdue basketball or any other game on T.V.; but his real passion was racing. He was a huge fan of Rusty Wallace and Mario Andretti, and he spend most of his free time at the Indianapolis Speedrome. Teddy was the life of the party, and you could always catch him making people laugh and flashing his wonderful smile. He will be deeply missed by his family, many friends, and his racing family.
