I did not know Anthony very well, but what I did know was that he was a passionate man that loved his city and would do anything to make it a better place. I respected him for that. I am also grateful that he inspired me to get involved. He even selected me to moderate the mayoral debate in 2010. Thank you and RIP Mr Walsh.
