My condolences to the entire Walsh family. The times spent with George are forever embedded in my being. George was a true friend with a big heart and
an adventurous soul. No doubt high heaven is flooded with laughter and smiles. Rest between the laughter and know you were loved here and the earth is a little bit dimmer without you in it.❤

Sad to see one of my old friends passing. Wish I could’ve been there for his final services. But when anybody said Georges name or showed me a picture of him it always made me smile and laugh. He was that kind of a guy. He will be sadly missed by me. Omay & Shirley. If you need a smile think about this He’ll be entertaining a whole new audience now

Saddened to hear about the passing of George.I first met George at Commerce high school and we shared many laughs and suspensions together. The years have certainly flown by since then and I am thinking of all the good times and the craziness of it all and George it was all worth it. Thank you for all the laughs and sleep warm my friend.

Eddie and Walsh Family:
I was shocked and saddened to read about the passing of George. It was just last year he called me to re-connect after several years. We stayed in touch off and on and we would reminisce about the old days. We go back a long way: grammar school, high school, working at the former Big D and, doing long runs from the Greendale YMCA, practicing for the old Charlie Surplus 10-mile road run.

Again, my deepest condolences.

RIP my old friend.

Porgie, so many fond and loving memories of times we shared. So many hilarious stories keep rushing forward in my mind and making me smile. You were one of a kind! The guy that everyone loved to have at their gatherings, you made everyone happy! You had the Mary T. “gift of humor” and the ability to involve everyone in the room to a point of hysterical laughter. Forever in our thoughts and prayers, Georgie. Love, Jo
