John Patrick Walsh lived a rich and active life, deeply involved in his community and various interests. His dedication to Local 223 for over 28 years, serving as Vice President, indicates a strong work ethic and commitment to labor causes. It's heartwarming to hear about his involvement in recreational activities like bowling and golf, as well as his contributions to youth sports through coaching girls' soccer in Hull. Being part of social clubs like the Knights of Columbus and the South Boston Hobo's-  the boys' who hung out at the corner of H and 5th Street in South Boston, which is where he met his wife Lucille:  suggests he valued camaraderie and connections within his community.  He was a member of the pick and shovel club in Hull as well as a member of the St. Ann's bowling league and a member of the McKeon Post in Dorchester. His passion for boxing, evident through his Golden Glove Championship, and his support for New England sports teams highlight his love for athletics. John also loved horse racing. John Patrick Walsh leaves a legacy of community engagement, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.
