Condolences to the Family

November 22, 2015

 Dear Family,
My name is Bristor D. Gwynne, I was a former student of St Therese Middle School where I believe Mr. Walsh
had taught. I was not quite sure if he was the same teacher that I remember however I had tried for years to
get in touch. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great teacher and good friend. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family.

WE all wish we could be with you. Hugs and love to all of you.

Dear Mary and Family,
We are saddened to hear of Tom’s passing.  We remember him as a dedicated and caring teacher, a fun soccer coach and a family friend.  Our families have spent a lot of time together between school, church and athletic events.  We look back on all of it with fondness.  Please accept our condolences at this difficult time.      

Love and Prayers,
Glenn, Michelle and The Girls 

I’m sorry to hear about Tom’s passing.
I talked with him often at Hempfield Sports Complex, and was surprised to hear the sad news, since we spoke no more than a month or so ago,and he sounded normal & fine. We talked many times about Philly sports, especially the
Eagles & Phils. Tom & I coached soccer many years ago with Tommy & my son Mitch on the team. He was a good guy & I’ll miss seeing him at HSC.

Regards,
Mike Erb

To All Members of the Walsh Family,

    Our deepest sympathy in the passing of Tom. Tom was my classmate at
LCHS Class of 70. He also knew my wife who taught with him at St. Leo’s.
He will be greatly missed by many, but our faith tells us that he has passed on to his heavenly reward.
