Walsh, James P. Jr. of Lexington, April 9, 2024. Beloved son of the late James P. Walsh Sr. and Mary Ann (Dalthorp) Walsh. Devoted brother of John M. Walsh and his wife Bawani of Houston, TX, Molly Walsh of Lexington, Robert T. Walsh and his wife Nengi Miraa of Lexington, and Joseph C. Walsh and his Partner Lien Khuu of San Jose, CA. He is also survived by his partner, Kelly Erickson of Hopedale and by many nieces and nephews.

Jimmy had genuine compassion and interest in other people, their interests, their worries and concerns. He volunteered at Perkins for over two decads. He was quick to stop whatever he was doing to help someone.  His hobbies were a reflection of what his friends and family enjoyed.  He followed sports with a keen interest. The Patriots and Celtics were family teams. Molly liked baseball so he liked baseball too. He also enjoyed bowling with Kelly and their friends. He was not the best bowler but loved the comradery. In addition to sports he had strong intellectual interests including biographies in particular of people who overcame adversity.

He liked virtually everyone he met and seldom had a bad word to say about anyone. However, it should be mentioned there was a special category for his girlfriend Kelly and his sister Molly who, like him, have beautiful spirits.

A celebration of his life will be held July 20, 2024 in the Allen Chapel at the Perkins School at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Perkins School for the Blind, 175 North Beacon St. Watertown, MA 02472. Interment private.
