    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.
