James (Jim) Lee Walker was born on October 11, 1944. He completed a double major in psychology and biology at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska (c. 1965) before obtaining his Master's degree in general-experimental psychology and his Ph.D. in physiological psychology from the University of North Dakota (UND). His first academic position was as a UND Assistant Professor of Psychology.
At UND Walker met fellow psychology graduate student Lilly Schubert. They marrried in Jamestown, North Dakota in 1969. In 1975, their son Thomas John (T.J.) Walker was born.
Jim joined the Psychology Department at Brandon University in 1971. After completing her internship at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill the following year, the Brandon University Psychology Department also hired Lilly. During their time in Brandon, the couple completed a comprehensive study on farm-stress; the study resulted in them being invited to provide input to The Senate Agriculture Committee and later to federal government officials during the formative stages of the Canadian Rural Transition Program.]
The Walker's left Brandon University in 1987, when Lilly became the Director of the University of Manitoba Counselling Centre. During their Winnipeg years, Jim operated his own private consulting business. He was also instrumental in developing the initial program of The Canadian Undergraduate Survey Consortium and completed major consulting/research projects for the Roblin Commission reviewing future roles of technology in University Education in Manitoba, and a national survey of International Students for the Canadian Bureau for International Education. While living in Winnipeg Jim also provided his professional services to establish one of the first Special Care Units (SCU) for Alzheimer's patients. The SCU was established at the Salem Home in Winkler, Manitoba.
In the summer of 2000, Lilly accepted the position of Dean of Student Affairs at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Jim was diagnosed with cancer in 1997 and then again in 2004. James (Jim) Lee Walker died in St. John's, Newfoundland on April 14, 2008.
