I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Tom Walsh's family and friends. I was lucky enough to work with Tom upon graduation from high school at my 1st job at a Munn Rd gas station and 15 yrs at the CPD...he was a parter of mine.
I will remember him always and he will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathy to Maryanne, and the entire Walsh Family. Tom was a wonderful guy who loved his family very much. He had a ready smile, some great stories, and was a joy to be with for a round of golf.

Tom was with our Friday Coffee Group at Panera's in Westlake most every Friday over the past twelve years. Both Tom and John Saccany always enjoyed telling a story or two that dealt with their years together on the Cleveland Police Department. Then, too, many in the coffee group have fond memories of our inclusion in police retiree golf outings.

So, as Tom goes forth to enjoy his eternal reward, may his family, and his many friends be comforted with the knowledge that he had a wonderful life, and was always a Christian Gentlemen.
