Poem to my brother
Last night
on the way home from work, I stopped for groceries
at the IGA a few miles from your house,
and realized
you wouldn't be shopping there again.
I sat in the parking lot
and cried –
knowing that I wouldn't be driving by your house to check on you
or see if the lights were on
in your bedroom
anymore.
It's not even a month
since you died.
Its three weeks today.
but it feels...

Greg, you were a true original and your vibrant personality will be missed. May your loved ones find eventual comfort in the knowledge that you are now at peace.

"If last week a lamp went out, it was because, for him at least, the dawn had come."
Thank you, sweet friend, for all the memories and smiles. Rest in peace.

After a courageous two year battle with cancer, Brian Gregory “Greg” Walsh of Portland passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, May 14. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Joyce, and three siblings, Francis Walsh of Chesterfield, New Hampshire, Regina Walsh of Moodus, Christopher Walsh of East Haddam, his godson Aaron of Marlboro, Vermont and niece Alexandra of Boston, Massachusetts. He was predeceased by his parents, Francis and Alice Walsh of Cobalt, Connecticut. A lifelong Connecticut resident, Greg graduated Cromwell High School and attended Providence College and the University of Hartford before his career in real estate development and commercial property management. Greg came out of retirement to help his brother Chris establish The Vets-Cars Group to assist members of the military and veteran community. Greg was nothing if not a rugged individualist. His intelligence, sharp wit, keen sense of irony and almost photographic memory were his most memorable traits. He was a voracious reader and avid bodybuilder. He selected his friends carefully and had few but those whom he allowed to be close were fortunate and will never forget him. Donations in Greg’s memory may be made to The Folds of Honor Foundation, www.foldsofhonor.org
