Andrew Thomas Walsh

To his family, I worked for Andy as a young man at Walsh´s restaurant for several years . Fond memories and great full for the opportunities he gave me. My condolences to the family! Bob Sparda

We love you Pa!

Mr Walsh was always a true gentleman. Some of our the Forbes Hill crew from Quincy found out about Mr Walsh’s passing ; and Mrs Walsh’s effectively through the Jane Paulie piece. Sadly none of us were aware of Johns passing. So so sad. Great family. Years since we have seen each other. Some of us were able to see the Young @ heart performances on line - so wonderful. Many of the old friends got together this past summer and have committed to get together and reconnect next summer . Maybe...

Dear Walsh Family...I’m so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing. He certainly had a special place in my heart. He was a very unique and special person, whom I will always remember fondly. With my sincere sympathies on the passing of this gentle giant... Sue Crowley

Dear Cathy, Drew, Mary, Margie, Peter, Moira and Trish, I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom, Dad and John, I had no idea until now. To this day I still miss our neighborhood. My husband and I have a son who has autism. I number of years ago I walked into his swim lesson and saw your dad in the pool with him...the lesson couldn't end fast enough for me...as soon as the lesson ended I went over and spoke to your dad, had such deja vu of my time spent at 36 Stoney Brae! ...

Dad, I hope one day to embody the virtues of patience, forgiveness and humility you so eloquently personified.
Recently on a video chat you responded to a comment about how good you looked. You replied "Well, I am getting there. I don't know where it is I am going...but I guess I am getting there." So now you know where 'there' is and in this place called heaven you are finally free to experience eternal joy without limitations.
We are all 'GETTING THERE'....may we go with...

I am so sorry to hear about Andy. My mother spoke of him fondly as she was in the Young@Heart Chorus. I had the pleasure to meet him a few times. Thinking of your family.

When I was 13 years old and working at the family restaurant setting up the function hall for an event that evening, my dad put on Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" album. It caught my ear, and I asked "what is this", and he told me "it is jazz". I was hooked. May your journey home dad be filled with the music you so loved. We know that John-boy is excited to have you and mom finally to himself - as he so rightfully deserved. Love Peter.
