Anthony William Walsh

Dear Suzanne: The beloved Tony Walsh remains a forever treasure to many having the opportunity of his presence. His remembrance is forever in my memories. I recall his comment when he lost relatives and friends, "they are merely absent." Now, I have a greater understanding of the meaning. Tony is forever in the minds of many who have the pleasure of knowing his greatness. Dear Suzanne, a loving daughter, thank you for keeping his distinction alive.

I found this today while searching for the professor who greatly touched my life more than a decade and a half ago. He provided insight that sticks to me every day. When I did not do what was right, he would say " Birds of a feather flock together" -- He touched my life in a way he never could realize.

To: Tony Walsh's daughter, Suzanne
The Nigeria V training group at UCLA, Fall Quarter 1962, had many outstanding personalities, among whom Tony was stellar with his quizzical expression and often hilarious comments. When his obituary is carried in our FON newsletter, you will hear from the many "old" PCVs, with perhaps a tale or two that will sound familiar, but also new. Tony was a magnet for memorable adventures; he lived life fully; was proud of your mother and you.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. He was a wonderful gentleman.
Mike and Isabel Pickett (Capitaland Chorus)

Suzanne,
We were so sorry to hear that your Dad had passed. We always enjoyed visiting with him on those (too) rare occasions at family gatherings. Our memories of him are warm and fond, and our hearts go out to you. Love to all.
Your cousins, Dorothy and Leland.

Suzanne -- Even though I only met your Dad a couple of times, I felt that I knew him well through your vivid story telling, not to mention that I computerized the paper on "social nudism" -- but I wanted to say that the qualities that others found so admirable live on in you. You are truly a unique and spirited person, much as your father was. Please know that my thoughts are with you.

Suzanne,
We share your sorrow in the passing of your father. He was truly a unique, knowledgable, individual. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

Love, your cousin Donnyce Brooks-Ashland and Donald Ashland.

Dear Jim and Family;

We are so sorry for your loss. Anthony sure made his mark on this world, not only while living, but also after his passing. Please accept our sincere condolances. We will keep him in our prayers.
