James Francis Walsh

Dear Barbara and family Marylynn and I have fond memories of Jim as he was a person of high ideals and deep convictions and a devout catholic. He loved his family and he and Barbara were hospitality central at their home over the years. Blessed with an engaging sense of humor and a deep knowledge of history, he was the real deal. We are all fortunate that Jim Walsh touched our lives from our days at Westfield State over 50 years ago to our time together on Cape Cod. Marylynn and Dave Clune

Barbara and family I am so sorry about Jim´s passing. He was so good to me growing up, both in and out of school, he was a blessing in my life for sure as were you Barbara. Your family will be in my prayers. Miss you Barbara

Barbara, Dan and I were saddened to hear the news of Jim´s passing. He was a man who was always full of life and and loved by so many. Our parents always considered you both part of our family. I know he will be missed by so many lives he touched over the years. Our sincerest condolences to you and your family. Love, Dan and Diane Little.

Jimmy was a beloved member of the Hampden Group for many years and a joy to see and spend time with. Condolences to his family.

I was so sorry to hear that Jim had passed. I have great memories of our times in the Holy Cross gym watching our kids play CYO basketball and then also at Central High at the ticket desk on game nights when Central was the best team around. With my carful of kids, Jim was a friendly face at the door to an overcrowded gym. He always had a kind word, a gentle smile, a good feeling about the world and a joke to make everything go well. Thanks, Jim.

So sorry. Mr Walsh was my Vice Principal and was one of the good ones. Many years later I reconnected with him when id see him having dinner at The Beach Comber. He would remind me that i still owed him some detention hours. RIP Mr Walsh.
