Obituary notice for Bernard "Paddy" Walshe LM 911

Bernard “Paddy” Walshe

Dearest Macushla  Born September 11, 1927, in Clara Co. Offaly, Eire.  Passed away June 30th, 2018. It is with heartbreaking  sadness that the passing is announced of Bernard  “Paddy” Walshe. Predeceased by his beloved wife  Barbara, mother Esther, father Peter, brother Patrick  and little sister Mary-Jane. Devoted father of Debbie.  Cherished grandfather of Alanna, Lance, and Garreth.  Leaves to mourn also his son-in-law Keith, numerous  family members in Ireland and England, and many  friends and colleagues in Canada. Paddy was a soldier,  as he always reminded everyone of having served for  several years in the British Army, prior to joining the  Canadian Armed Forces in 1954. He retired in 1982  as a Chief Warrant Officer, whereupon he embarked  on his next “Career”, as a guard for nearly twenty years  for the RCMP-Maple Ridge Detachment. Paddy was  an extremely avid runner, sometimes being stopped  as he ran by the RCMP for “Speeding”. Paddy was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch  88, in Maple Ridge. He was the epitome of the word  “Decent”, and was truly “one of a kind”. He will be  sorely missed. Graveside prayers and interment to  be held on Thursday, July 12th at 1:00pm, in the  Maple Ridge Cemetery. Please no flowers, but if  you would like, a donation to the Royal Canadian  Legion, Branch 88, in Paddy’s name would be  greatly appreciated.13287084
