PHILIP C. WALSH

Uncle Philip was a devoted nephew to my grandparents, and they loved him dearly. My brother Kevin recalls Uncle Philip visiting Grampie in Hospice shortly before Grampie died. Grampie's hair was very white at the end, and Uncle Philip observed, "Uncle Ernie, you look like a lion!"...

Philip was a good friend for 63 years and a most capable business associate of mine at W. R. Grace & Co. where I was employed for 40 years. He was very bright, friendly and loyal.
