Don E. Walls, gave daughter kidney
Don E. "Hardtimes" Walls did not hesitate when his daughter, Sandy Sue Cooper, needed a kidney transplant in 1971.
Mr. Walls gave his daughter 11 more years of life by donating one of his own kidneys.
"I can tell you that his own health was not even a consideration. It was just the thing to do," said his wife, Denise Gross Walls.
Sacrificing for his daughter came naturally for a man who took care of his own large family and many Conner High School students who needed an extra father figure.
"He was one of the most family oriented people I ever knew - his family and anybody in need," Mrs. Walls said.
Mr. Walls, 60, of Florence, died Thursday at Christ Hospital, Cincinnati. He was a truck driver for Roadway Trucking and owned his own business, Bluebird Communications.
He was a member of Berean Baptist Church, Independence; Teamsters Union 100; and the American Association of Retired Persons.
Mr. Walls' nickname was his "handle," and it stuck with him after he left the trucking business.
He was also a country and gospel singer. He formed Hardtimes and the Sounds of Country band with his wife as manager. The band played private parties and CD club dances.
Mr. Walls was a self-taught radio technician, repairing CB radios and other electronic equipment.
He parlayed his mechanical talent into Bluebird Communications.
