Danny, Kevin, Tom Jr. and family, I'm sorry for your loss. Your father was a very nice man, I remember when he stopped by the lanes and always said hi with a smile, asked me how I was doing and bought me a beer. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the services, I just found out today. My condolences to the family. God bless.

Lorraine and the Entire Walsh Family -
Sincere condolences to all.
Senior was a great friend to my family and myself for many years, who would do anything for anyone. I have many, many great memories of working for him, and spending many days and nights in all of his establishments through the years.
RIP Sir!

Mrs. Walsh and family- There are a lot of people who are holding you all close at heart. Although Senior is gone from this place, he is now dancing with Patty. I am sure they both go out and bowl with God during thunderstorms. So when it rains and thunder shakes your soul, know it is them up there sending love and saying "This strike's for you". May God bring you comfort and peace during this hard time and in the days that follow. Much Love & Peace.
