I met John in 1959 when we worked at The Employer's Group
in Boston. John took me under his wing and became the brother I never had. He introduced me to beer and to many things as I was only 17. He was a true gentle man as well as being a gentleman. I am very grateful to John for so many things and I'm proud to say he was my friend.

Mr. Walsh,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

John Walsh was an extraordinary friend and from our perspective, a member of the McDonough family. He has always been there for my brother Eddie and his wife Denise. John, I knew since I was knee high to a grasshopper; however, he was there from the beginning when my wife, Terry and I met at R H Stearns. He was at our wedding 34 years ago today. He was a gentleman, a pleasure to be with and we are greatly saddened at the news of his passing. The world has lost a true champion. We will miss him with heavy hearts but rejoice in the memories of knowing him. Your Friends Tom and Terry McDonough
