James G. Walsh Jr.

Dear Nancy,

Although I didn't know Jim until later in life, he was a joy of a person. Please accept my deepest condolences - he will be missed even by those who didn't know him very well. May God sustain you through these sad times. I would have contacted you sooner, but only today learned of his death. God bless, Mary Eisenhower

To the Walsh family, ALthough I didn't really know Gep as an adult, I have vivid memories of his presence in the Higgins family during ur childhoods. His mother Nancy was one of my mother's very best friends and I always looked forward to her visits. Gep was a friendly, happy presence, like his mother, in my memory. So sorry to hear the sad news of his passing.

Dear Nancy,
I just learned of Gep's death and was shocked and saddened by the news. I first met Gep in 1943 when we moved to Pierce Street, near the Walsh family at 47th and Rockhill Road. As you know, my parents and Gep's were close friends and I met Gep in that context. The huge age difference, four to six, meant that I looked up to Gep as a most superior being. I kept that sense of Gep throughout my life. He was always smarter, more at ease with people, a much better athelete and...

Dear Walsh Family,
Jim was an inspiration. In 1991 when The Institute for Labor Studies did the Kansas City Labor History tour, Jim helped us immensely to retrieve information about his grandfather Frank Walsh who is one of the featured heroes in the tour. He provided family photos and documents for our research and participated in the tour. His contributions are on our web page.
In solidarity,
