James Charles Walsh

Well Jim Thanksgiving just wasn't the same without you! It was your holiday and we all just loved it. There were many other holidays spent together but all the Bedoyas will forever toast you on Thanksgiving no matter where they are! Love Always, Sharon

We lived across the street from Jim on Magnolia. What an amazing individual. It was a pleasure seeing him out for a run or at the 10k. I know he took great pride in placing in the top 10 of his division... He will be missed! Glenn, Debbie, Kelly and Patrick Lucas

I attended grade school and high school with his son, Dan, and I know his son, James, who are both great guys. I only met Mr. Walsh a few times at his house but he came across as a very solid and respectable dad, and based on my knowing his sons, I would say that he was a very good father.

I never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Walsh but I attended school with his sons and daughter. I always heard good things about him. RIP

We are lucky enough to live across the street from Jim & Heidi. And I even went to school with Kim. You'll never meet a more loving family. "MR Walsh", "Dad", was around often and always had a big smile & friendly wave. It always warmed my heart to see him visiting & watching the boys play. His presence will be greatly missed, but always remembered. Our thoughts & prayers go out to Jimmy, Heidi, the boys and all the Walshes.

I am a friend of Joey Smith (Providence Trinity Care Hospice). I knew Uncle Jim while visiting at the Smith home for Christmas. I remember his humor and kindness. May he rest in God's eternal peace. The family remains in my prayers. God bless you one and all at the Funeral Mass.

I was blessed with more than 50 years of friendship with Jim. I will always remember his love of family and friends and, most of all, his wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched.

I've known Jim since I was 20 and my sister, Bette, took pity on little sister and took me along with eleven of her friends on a ski train heading for Sun Valley Idaho in 1962. I have so many wonderful and laughable memories of that trip, and I think that trip is when Jim and Ann began to fall in love, too. Since then there have been many other dinners and parties and ski trips and holidays with The Bedoyas, and a Bedoya get-together would not have been complete without its founding member,...

When I visited Jim on his birthday December 1, he said he was at peace with no regrets, adding "I've had more damn fun than any other three people I know!" He always had a good time, and made sure everyone else did too. There are so many good stories . . . a dear and wonderful friend.
