John Walsh was my grandfather. I wish I had had the chance to know him. My mother always spoke of him with great love and admiration. His presence in her life gave her the wisdom to choose a man of integrity, kindness, strength, and deep love. These qualities I am certain she saw in her father. So my tribute is one of profound gratitude for the man who raised my mother to be wise, strong, kind, and loving. Thank you.
