As many of you may already know, my loving dad - JAMES JOSEPH WALSH Sr. passed away Thursday April 30th after a long illness that took a quick turn for the worse in the recent weeks.

Walsh Family- 1980something..

If you knew him, you know he was an awesome guy, loved by all, and was one of the most humble, compassionate and giving men on the planet. My dad was truly selfless..

Though devastated, we are rallying as a family to get through this difficult time and will be making arrangements for his going away celebrations this weekend including Catholic tradition wake and funeral mass.
