George Walsh Obituary
March 4, 1947 - July 22, 2022
Resident of Pleasanton, CA
George Michael "Mike" Walsh, Jr., a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, sadly left this world on July 22, 2022 at age 75.
Mike was born to George Sr. and Caroline Walsh on March 4, 1947 in Brooklyn, New York, and he grew up in Glen Cove on Long Island, NY. After graduating from Glen Cove High School, he joined the Navy, where he served on the maiden voyage of the USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier. While stationed in Alameda, CA, Mike met the love of his life, Joann, and the two were later married on January 31, 1970.
While raising their family in Pleasanton, Mike worked for over 25 years in finance and banking, most recently as a Senior Vice President at Silicon Valley Bank. He enjoyed countless hobbies, especially boating and attending his grandkids' many sporting events.
Mike is survived by his wife Joann (Promes), son Kevin (Natalie) Walsh of Pleasanton, daughter Carolyn (Kevin) Comerford of Pleasanton, grandchildren Mitchell, Nicholas, and Mason Walsh, Emily, Brendan, and Landon Comerford, his brothers Pat (Theresa) Walsh of Parker, CO, Tom Walsh of Longmont, CO, Chris Walsh of Niles, CA, and sister MaryAnn Shortell of Pearl River, NY.
A funeral mass will be held on Wednesday, August 10th, 10am at St. Augustine's Catholic Church, 3999 Bernal Ave., Pleasanton, 94566. Reception to follow immediately.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate in Mike's memory to Hospice of the East Bay.

I am unsure if Joann (Promes) is Mike's wife, but my brother Kurt seems to think so. We knew the Promes family from Saint Elizabeth's Parish and we all went to school together. Joann was in my brother Mike's class, and Billy was in my brother Kurt's class. Kurt, Greg and I extend our condolences to Joann and the family.
