Joseph William Walsh Jr.

Born in Lynn on November 13, 1936, he was the son of the late Joseph W. Walsh, Sr. and Thelma (Teague) Walsh. Joseph was a graduate of Lynn English High School, and then went on to proudly serve in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Upon his return, Joseph worked in the parking department for the City of Lynn until his retirement. He was also an active member of The Elks Club and the VFW.

In his free time, Joseph loved golfing, bowling, playing shuffleboard, enjoying his many vacations, coffee with the guys in the morning at McDonalds, taking pictures of his family and the ocean, and lastly, showing up to every important event in his family you could think of. He never missed one!

Surviving Joseph is his son, Mark Walsh and his wife Michelle of Lynn; his grandchildren, Keren Hawkes and Kristen Walsh; and his great-grandchildren; Kendall Hawkes and Jacoby Walsh.

Joseph was the husband of the late Nancy (Punchard) Walsh and the beloved father to the late Shawn Walsh.
