Dear Sally and Family -
My depest condolences to all of you.
You were blessed to have your dad for so long. As an adult I ran into him and reintroduced myself and every time after that he would remember me. He always struck me, even as a child, as this quiet, kind man.

To Roberta and Family,

I have so many wonderful memories of Mr. Walsh as I worked with him at the Guardian.

Every Friday I would tell his friends what time the bus would be there to pick them up and what restaurant they would be going to.

Every Christmas all the reps would collect money to give the girls in the office as a Christmas present we would have a great lunch & Mr. Walsh would play Santa & pass out the gifts to us.

When I was relocating to Topeka, KS - Mr. Walsh took me to lunch with his regular group as a send off & gave me a card with some gas money he wanted me to have a safe trip out to Topeka.

When I came home for my wedding Mr. Walsh not only attended my wedding which was so special to me to have him there but gave my husband & I beautiful candlestick holders to enjoy for many years which we have on display in our living room & I always think of him when we use them.

Mr. Walsh was the type of individual everyone should be blessed to know. He was warm & caring & enriched everyone's life that he touched. He was very proud of his children.

My deepest condolences to Roberta & his family he was an incredible man and my prayers & thoughts are with you all.

Love, Denise McClure-Saskowski & Family XOXOXO
