Walter Andrew Redmon

Just thinking about you today. I miss your jokes & guidance, but I know I wouldn't have gotten any guidance even if you were here because by the time you would have got done talking...I'd be like ... wait you been making me laugh for 1 hour now....I still don't know what I'm supposed to do about this or that...and then I'd leave and realize the point is...just "relax" and "let it go" :). The last holiday me and Kevin walked into your room (well the room you hung out in to watch TV). Kevin said....errrrr it's hard for me to be back here without Daddy...and I knew exactly what he meant. Every time I'm shopping and I find something that I really wanted...I always thank you...I have no clue where that came from but then I started thinking about how you used to buy me things on your pay day...a red item...dress, shoes, etc.. so maybe subconsciously I remember that...but when I get something in the store I be like thanks Dad for helping me find this or that. Plus you always loved when I came over with something nice on...you'd be like where did you get that at??? You'd move back in your wheel chair so you could see out your good eye...and be like that's nice. You were always into fashion. Gina says something all the time and I wonder if it were true. She said that she thinks you knew that I would get Cancer. She said you told them right before you passed away to take care of me. Well I wanted to thank you for that. They all were really supportive. I'm hearing Mar wouldn't let anyone get too close because of covid, but him and Moma & my kids did an outstanding job at keeping me safe and healthy. It was a BIG battle. I didn't know what to do really, but I knew to follow what God, Moma, my husband, and the doctor said to do and I'd be fine. So much happened that I had no time to think...including you passing away, my grandson was born, I was in recovery, and my daughter and son needed me and all Mar and I could do is hold on to dear God to get us through. I don't want you to think I forgot about you (that'll never happen). I buy you a fathers day card still every year. Last year it hit me like a brick that you were gone and wasn't coming back...I was in the card shop & I burst into tears out the clear blue. I had to be so strong through so much and I guess that day I finally let my guards down and let it all out. Anyway.....We all all still miss you Pops. Love, Trina (Your daughter)

I remember Walter Redmon from my junior high and high school days in Columbia, Missouri. I went to U-High, the other high school in Columbia, but Walter and his friend Ken Griffith used to join us in pick-up basketball games on the University of Missouri court, where we would sneak in and play during MU school breaks. Walter was the best shooter of all the kids in our age group — there was no 3-point line in those days, but from that distance Walter could nail shot after shot, and man, could he drive to the basket. Columbia was a town that was still experiencing a lot of segregation in those days, the early 1960’s, and Walter was among my first few Black friends. I admired him for his athletic prowess and also for his great sense of humor. I am happy, but not surprised, to hear that Walter made a success of his life and was a strong family man. He always had a good heart for others and was highly respected by everyone who knew him back in those days too. Rest in peace, my friend. You are remembered by many people whose lives you touched.

Just thinking about you today. Love Trina

Just thinking about you...that's all. I have a few of your voicemails on my machine...wondered why I didn't catch your call on those day.. I'm glad I have your voice recorded, but regret I didn't answer....daddy sometimes you used to be just fussing telling me what I should be doing or saying to my kids...and sometimes I didn't answer because I didn't want to hear what I'm doing wrong again....crazy thing is although I pretended not to be fully on deck with you...I listened to every single word...I almost could not wait until I seen them just so I could tell them what they Papa said.......I heard you and I still hear you. Sorry I didn't answer the phone daddy.... but I am glad I have a few voicemails to go back to hear what you have to say. Missed you alot today Daddy, Love Trina

We love you and miss you, grandpa! xoxo

Dear Daddy, Recently, I had to take a genes test for medical reasons and it came back that I pretty much have your genes...when I sat and thought about it I asked myself, why did I take that test....I ALREADY KNEW THAT. We used to laugh at the same things, get upset at the same things, and relate on so many levels during our long conversations...I have always acted JUST like my pops. Dad you made a HUGE impact on me. I used to be confused growing up because I had such strong opinions... I've always had things to do and things to say. When I was younger, I was confused because I didn't know why I was so highly opinionated, then I got older and I realized why. It's one thing to hear someone that doesn't know what they are talking about be highly opinionated, but to hear someone that does, makes the difference. You were that difference for me. I know many people could not accept your words .. because of their own bias or hangups, but I did .... I heard you loud and clear and I always knew you were SUPER smart and had ALOT of common sense. Thank you for who you were and for living in me. I will miss you and our long our talks. I love you Dad thanks for everything..we will see each other again. P.S. Guess what?? I have a grandson who was born 3 days after you passed away. I wish you could have met him. I have a feeling he is going to have high opinions too :). Love, Trina

We love you grandpa! Rest in peace and love.

Daddy, When I was a little girl, I listened to everything you said. As I became a teenager and early adulthood, I didn't want to hear anything you said. When I grew older, I realized I needed to hear everything you tried to tell me earlier. Today, I want nothing more than to hear your voice. Your words are what I am going to miss most. Love you Daddy.

my condolences and prayers go out to the Redmond and Brown family

Aunt Jan, Kevin, Gina, Karla, Trina, Our prayers for the entire Brown-Redman family, we pray for peace and comfort. Our arms are wrapped around each and every one. Praying that the memories over take the sorrow. I’m smiling as I share my memories and hope it brings you comfort. My fondest memory is the way he could talk to you about any subject and articulate with passion his point of view. No one could dress as he could, SUPER DUPER FLY guy, coordinating everything from head to toe, his laugh and the way he made fun of the Brown women, all from love. He will be missed by all. Love you, Deronda and family.

My Sincere Sympathies to the Redmond Family and to All that Loved Him. FeetMo was a Friend to Many and a Loving Dad and Grandpa. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. Rest in Power...Goodnight Friend

May the love of God embrace the esteemed family of Mr. Walter Redmon. His journey from earth to his Heavenly Home where he will reunite with the ancestors at Our Father's bequest will be a testimony. Dr. Janie Hatton
