My condolences to the Walsh family. I had the pleasure of being a student of Dr. Walsh’s in two separate classes. He was an incredible teacher whose passion for literature, film and life came through in every moment of his classes. I am truly sorry for your loss.

What an amazing educator. His infectious enthusiasm for the written word and the content and his connection with his students contributed to his being such a great teacher. He cared about his class participants both as students and as people. A wonderful StFX faculty member. I enjoyed his classes very much and I also enjoyed our conversations. My condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Jacquie and Family. My condolences. I was honoured to have met and known Pat during my employment at Keltic Motors. He was truly an inspiration to me whether it was talking cars or performing on stage at the Bower. His advice, friendship and memories I shall cherish for the rest of my life.

Pat Walsh and R.J.MacSween were my two favorite professors at StFX. I interviewed him in 1986 for a story I wrote about Rev. MacSween. What a guy. I am glad to see the video of a long and happy life. May his memory be a blessing.

Monica and Family,
I was so sad to see that your father had passed away. I remember being a student in his Modern Drama class. He was so lively, fun and engaging!
It was one of my favourite courses at X.
The last time I saw him was on a Saturday morning in ~ 2008 in our backyard with Dad's friendly group of 'thinkers'. He had everyone laughing with his colourful stories and quick wit.
So sorry for your loss.

Dear Jackie & family;
Marius & I were saddened to receive news of Pat’s passing. His heart was as large as his anatomy and he was always available to help his Alma Mater. I cherish the times we spent together on committees, arguing about
about university politics, etc etc.
He will be remembered in the history of Stfx as a devoted professor, a caring & concerned member of the institution and always thinking of ways to make his community and the larger society a better place for all.
We send our sympathy and condolences and our wish that happy memories will be of comfort in the days ahead.

My sincere condolences to the Walsh family. I took two courses from Pat at X in the 1980’s where his booming voice had most captivated and engaged. My fondest memories were of meeting him in his office when looking for inspiration and direction. I always left there feeling challenged with my mind abuzz.
My sincere condolences,
Maurice MacPhee

I was deeply saddened to read about Pat’s passing and offer my deepest sympathies to Jackie and their family. Pat was a big presence in every sense of the word and none bigger than his devotion to his lovely wife and their family.
I was blessed to have had Pat as a professor while taking my BEd and to have him as a supervisor for my teaching practicums. In his uplifting, kind, and insightful way, Pat taught me to find my path and that there was more than one “style” to be an effective teacher. He shared his brilliant writing, his gifts of a deep appreciation for and understanding the depth behind the value of English literature and ways to convey that passion to young minds and to help guide them to discovery.
Pat was a man of integrity, intellect, creativity, spirit, wit, passion, and goodness. It was a joy to highlight his many contributions while in Advancement. The English professors of Pat’s era were truly exceptional and he was a very significant part of that excellence. He was an icon who made an indelible mark and will be long and fondly remembered with admiration and great respect.

Dear Jackie and family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to each of you on the loss of Pat’s earthly presence.
Pat returned to his high school Alma Mater just in time for my class (1960) to have him as our teacher. He was instantly beloved. Among my memories is the way in which he spoke about life and faith by how he lived. His regard for the sacredness of marriage was apparent even then.
His academic teaching was solid in content and delivered with enthusiasm. His influence on so many in my class lives on today.
My prayers are with Pat’s soul and your hearts.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to Jackie and family at this very sad time. Pat was such a kind, caring, funny and loving soul. It was a privelege to work with him from time to time on projects at The Casket. May he rest in the arms of our Lord forever.

Monica and family, I was so sorry to hear of your dad 's passing. I had him for one English class I took as an elective. He opened every class with "this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad ."
I last saw him at a gathering at the RK MacDonald guest house about 5 years ago. May he RIP.

Jacquie--my sincere condolence to you on the passing of Pat. I enjoyed all of my experiences with him over the years--Board of the Casket, Martha Home Health Care, RK MacDonald Nursing Home, Our drives together to Port Hawksbury to teach night courses, Playing handball together with Sheldon and Jimmy, and of course teaching together at StFX.
I really enjoyed the obituary, and I appreciate how difficult it must have been to write given the "massive" subject. I am using the term "massive" to describe Pat's persona--he was larger than life. He was an exceptional human being who made us all richer for having spent time with him.
With every best wish, I am yours sincerely, Bob Madden.

To the Walsh Family.
Pat taught me at St FX in 1975 and was a great prof.
He was a good friend of my Mom, Jean Moeller.
Our thoughts go to all of you. The world is darker today, not because of the eclipse. Because I heard this news.
