Colman Walsh Obituary
He was the beloved husband of Bridget T. (Nee) Walsh, with whom he shared 51 devoted years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and unwavering partnership.
Born on November 23, 1944, in Rosmuc, County Galway, Ireland, Colman was the cherished son of the late John and Delia (O'Malley) Walsh. He carried his Irish roots with pride throughout his life, holding close the values of family, friends, and community.
In addition to his loving wife, Colie leaves behind his devoted children: Joseph Walsh and his wife Carolyn, Sean Walsh and his wife Hailey, and Ann York and her husband Alex. He was a proud and adoring grandfather to Bridget, Sinead, Paige, Jack, and Sadie, each of whom brought immense joy to his life.
Colie will be remembered for his warmth, steady presence, and deep love for his family. His legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Our sincere condolences to Tessie & family on your very sad loss. Colie was a great friend of mine. We shared an apartment in Boston in the 70´s before Colie got married. We worked together and spent some great nights in the Blarney and Rover and all the great house parties in them days. Colie was a true gentleman and one of the best friends anyone could ever have. I remember celebrating Colie & Tessie´s wedding in Florian Hall. I left for California the next day. I will always be sorry that we did not meet again but he will be forever remembered. Til we meet again Colie, may your gentle soul rest in peace. Bobby & Barbara Fallon
