    to John and his family - your love for your father is inspirational and I know what a loss this is for your family. Your loving devotional you posted on Linkedin frankly was tear jerker. I really wish I could have met your father as he was one heck of a guy! Hugs and love my friend! Cecilia Remy

    Jimmy and I were so saddened to hear of Doc's passing. He will surely be missed by many and was a wonderful man! We'll always remember his great sense of humor and all of those Christmas celebrations at Peg and Tommy Beatty's over the years. May he rest in peace and please know our prayers and thoughts are with your family during this difficult time. With our sympathies, Debbie and James Dillon

    Doc Walsh was one of a kind and a "True Irishman" always willing to help anyone in need. He knew how to work and he knew how to have fun as well. He would be the last to call it quits at the end of a long workday but he was also the last off of the dance floor with the sweat dripping off of his nose. Doc you will be missed but not forgotten.

    John and Brian and Laura, we offer our sincere sympathy to you all & to your families on the sad passing of your dear Dad. He was a wonderful father to you all and showed you exceptional courage,care & love in taking on the challenges that had to be faced on the tragic death of your lovely mother and our dear sister, Breda. Pat never forget his roots & we remember especially his visits to Ireland, often accompanied by yourselves. He was decent, honest and generous especially to those who were in most need. His example will stay with you & guide you. He & your mother Breda will watch over you and your families in the years ahead. Joe and Olive Fahy and family, Roscommon. Ireland.

    I went to a family wedding with Brian quite a few years back. We had "choreographed" a dance. Doc had other plans. He spun me all around that dance floor. Lol My deepest condolences to the Walsh family. Xoxoxo Dawn Hurley

    "Doc" frequently thought of others before self. He faced adversity with good cheer, making the best of bad situations for both himself and others. Always quick to provide a laugh that he mixed with wit and wisdom. A loving son, brother, father, grandfather, trusted confidant to many and friend to all. Anyone who met Doc Walsh was fortunate indeed. He will be sorely missed. Honor his cherished memory by helping others in need. He truely made the world a better place.
