It is with great sadness that the family of Kevin F. Walsh shares his passing at the age of 71. He died peacefully on January 3, 2023 in the Cardiac Care Unit of the New York Presbyterian Milstein Hospital with family by his side.

Born in Queens, NY on March 10, 1951, to Brigid (Della) Brennan, Woodfield Dunmore County Galway, and William V Walsh, Carrowbeg, Headford County Galway. Kevin lived a full life as a loving husband, father, brother, and proud new grandfather. The family historian, he was an engaging storyteller with a fantastic sense of humor and a passion for film and music. On May 25, 1985, he married Connie (Sikorski) Walsh, and they made their home in Riverdale, NY. Kevin worked as a civil servant for almost 40 years. He began in 1973 with the U.S. Department of Social Security and in 1988, with the Department of Customs and Border Protection from which he retired the end of 2010. Through this career he made many lifelong, cherished friendships.

Kevin is survived by his wife Connie, his children Christine Spanger, Portland, ME; and Brian Walsh, New York, NY; his grandson Evan Spanger; and his siblings Mary, New York, NY; John, Thailand; and Michael, Albany, NY; and cousins in the U.S. and Ireland. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.
