LAWRENCE WALSH Obituary


Lawrence Thomas Walsh  PNC Bank Vice President  March 2, 1964 - April 22, 2020   
Larry Walsh passed away at the Lombardi Center from cancer at the age of 56. He was a native Washingtonian, growing up in Chevy Chase, MD and then residing for many years in Arlington, VA until his passing. Larry graduated from Gonzaga College High School, NW Washington ('82) and James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA ('86). Upon graduating from James Madison University, Larry spent his entire career in the banking industry and branch management, including 31 years of dedicated service to PNC Bank, NA (formerly Riggs Bank, NA). Larry loved to travel with family and friends. Rehoboth Beach, DE and Deep Creek Lake, MD were two of his favorite vacation spots where he frequented since he was a young child. Larry was preceded in death by his father, John Francis Walsh, Sr. He is survived by his mother, Nancianne Weir Walsh, and his brothers, John F Walsh, Jr. (sister-in-law, Pamela Walsh); Timothy M. Walsh (sister-in-law, Kristine Walsh); and Gregory P. Walsh (sister-in-law, Pauline Walsh). Also survived by nephews and nieces include: Matt, Andrew (John and Pam); Tim Jr, Matt, Kaitlin (Tim and Kris); Liam, Sean (Greg and Pauline); grand nephew and niece include: Kashious and Shae (Tim Jr.).  Larry's infectious smile and loving, caring ways will never be forgotten. Private service is being held for immediate family. A celebration of life for Larry is to be determined at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Gonzaga College High School or the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Walsh family extends its thanks to all of Larry's wonderful friends, most especially, Jeffrey Larroca, Joseph Ugast, and Victor Galindo for their steadfast and unwavering support of Larry and the entire family, before and during this difficult time.

I only come to this lately, learning minutes ago that a kind friend from my DC years passed. Larry, you were one of a kind, and "kind" is truly the right word for you. You were -- ARE -- one of the most genuine and genuinely KIND people I have ever known, especially in those DC years, in a town full of jaded characters. Your sincerity, your laughter, your BRILLIANT smile...you were the real deal in a world sorely lacking those qualities in so many. Brother, I will see you in heaven someday, and give you a long overdue bearhug. Love ya, man, always.

Larry was the best friend a girl could ever have and he was my "guy" best friend. We met at Riggs in the 90's and his smile and laugh were infectious. I loved spending time with Larry and his awesome family. We continued our friendship when I moved to FL. The last time we got together was for lunch during a visit home, along with his wonderful Mom, and the 3 of us couldn't stop laughing! Memories like that will always remain with me and Larry is forever loved and missed. Love, blessings and condolences to the family and friends!

Larry was one of the first people I got to know at Riggs more than 20 years ago. A great person who always inspired me with you his smile, willingness to help and great attitude. I did not know he was a Gonzaga Man but even more proud my sons study there now. I will miss him.

I will miss Larry. He would always brighten my day at the bank. Our families had known the large Walsh families for decades. Larry's father, John, was my favorite Walsh. My father was an independent broker with the old Thos D. Walsh RE Co. We had so many conversations about his dad, our families, the Jesuits, and the banking business. I am sad we never got together for lunch, but maybe some day.

Rest in peace.
