Tracy, Tom and Family,
I was sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Knowing him from when he picked up his pizza at Stuft Pizza, to his becoming Earl's beloved father-in-law, he was always an example of a father that you can be proud of. I was blessed to have known him.

Dear Delores and family,

I am saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. He was my mentor, buddy and "second dad" at the T-A for many years. I have so many fond and funny memories of working with Charlie back in the day. And I've always thought he and Delores were the most happily married couple I've ever known. My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Walsh family.

To the Family of Mr. Walsh:
My sincere sympathy in your loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. I remember some nice chats with him: one day in Ralph's when he had a "honey--do" list; one day in Barnes and Noble when we discussed all of your family; one evening at Filippi's; and when Mrs. Walsh was a patient on my unit at the hospital.

Mrs. Walsh and family,

What a lovely mass this morning for Charlie. I had the honor of working with him at the Times Advocate in the 70s and early 80s. I will always remember him as kind and sweet. It was obvious that he was well-loved; he will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
