Terrence Walsh Obituary

Walsh, Terrence "Terry" J. DELMAR Terrence "Terry" J. Walsh, age 62, died suddenly at his home in Delmar on October 26, 2016. Terry (formerly of Schenectady) is survived by his daughter, Kyla Walsh and her partner, Brian Burkins also of Delmar; his parents, Edward and Pauline Walsh, formerly of Niskayuna; his siblings, Lisa Crandall of Clifton Park, Tara Walsh Peterson and her husband, C. Craig Peterson of Niskayuna, Michael Walsh and his partner, Shanna Pearson of Plains, Pa.; his sister-in-law, Nancy Walsh of Gansevoort; his brother-in-law, Lawerence Bloch of Manhattan and his many devoted nieces, nephews and cousins. Terry is preceded in death by his wife, Linda Bloch Walsh; and his oldest brother, Edward T. Walsh of Gansevoort. Terry was born on May 7, 1954, in Cohoes, graduated from Bishop Gibbons High School in 1972, and went on to graduate from both Morrisville and Plattsburgh State University with degrees in business administration. He lived and worked from his home office in Delmar, where he formed Shephard Co. and enjoyed a very successful insurance underwriter career for many years. Terry valued family above all else. He was a devoted husband, father, son and brother. His love, his laughter, and his leadership were outstanding qualities in a life lived with passion and faith. Recently diagnosed with glioblastoma, Terry was undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, hoping to spend just a little more time with his brave and devoted daughter, Kyla. Viewing hours are Sunday, October 30, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the New Comer Funeral Home, 343 New Karner Road, Colonie. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on October 31, at 10 a.m. in St. John the Evangelist Church, 812 Union St., Schenectady.
