Dear Connolly Family, Your parents helped bring the South Boston tradition to the Walsh family's annual St.Patrick's Day Party. They helped make it a special event each year. The Lace Curtain Irish of Boston, we really showed the Connecticut Yankees how to start the party with a Boiler Maker (a shot of Irish Whiskey and a beer instead of the usual gin and tonic or scotch and water). For many the corner beef and cabbage was a first! Tom always brought something special to a gathering. I shared his love of hockey and golf. I know he always played the game with grit and determination. I always enjoyed being with him and miss him. Kevin Walsh
