Dennis Walsh

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." Fortunately, Dennis and I lived life according to Marcus Aurelius. "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live."

"Say not in grief 'he is no more' but in thankfulness that he was."

I'm so sad to hear of Dennis' passing. We were close friends at Springfield and my roommate, Karin VanNewkirk, and i whiled away MANY hours in the Dugout with Denny, Paul Wagner, Jimmy Froehlich and Jack VanLeuwen. One memory out of SO many: on March 31st one year they dared us to jump in the lake, still ringed with ice! Of course we did! I also saw Denny in my home state NJ. I'm so glad Denny had a long happy life. I got to speak to him not long ago with Bob Walligunda. Would love to...

Dear friend at Springfield College,´67 and `68, roommates and fellow follower of Coach Charles Silvia.
