Condolences to Vic’s family on his recent passing . Vic has been a family friend since the 70’s when he delivered Coke Cola products to our late father restaurant, “ Leo’s” . Always a smile when you’d meet him out and about , “ how’s your Mother doing ? “ he never failed to ask ! RIP Vic Walsh .
Tim, Todd, Scott, Mark, Craig and families,
So very very sorry to hear of uncle Vic’s passing. When he was well he would visit me often at the pharmacy and always had a hug and a big smile. We would, of course, always chat about our mutual love, animals, particularly dogs. He would sometimes bring me a dog book that he was finished reading and I still have the small collection. I will treasure it forever.
For years we had a special bond through Lilo , aka Maggie who was a puppy uncle Vic rescued in 2002 but couldn’t keep himself. He was distraught over this and called me hoping I could take her. Unfortunately, I couldn’t because I had two dogs myself, one of whom was ill. I took my sister-in-law, Irene, to meet Maggie and she fell in love. Vic and I would sometimes visit her (now named Lilo) in St. Phillips and he would call me often to check on her. He was so happy that she had found a beautiful home and lived 12 ecstatically happy years.
I will miss Vic’s infectious smile and will hold my memories of him very close to my heart.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope you have a peaceful New Year.
Brenda, Bob and family

Dear Walsh Family
Condolences on the passing of Vic – he will be remembered in his neighborhood ( that extended from Oxen Pond Road and nearby streets to Mundy Pond) for a long time – his smile, his chatty disposition, his care for his dogs, and they for him, his determination that he was okay in life… these made him a man it was always pleasant for us to encounter. He had challenges for certain, yet he met them head-on and they never seemed to overwhelm him. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to Scotts family
Scott and the Walsh Family,

Victor always had a smile and time for a chat whenever we would bump into each other, walking around the pond with the doggies or picking up groceries. May you find comfort in remembering his life.
