Brian Gregory Walsh
1948 - 2014

---

After a courageous two year battle with cancer, Brian Gregory "Greg" Walsh of Portland passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, May 14.

He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Joyce, and three siblings, Francis Walsh of Chesterfield, New Hampshire, Regina Walsh of Moodus, Christopher Walsh of East Haddam, his godson Aaron of Marlboro, Vermont and niece Alexandra of Boston, Massachusetts. He was predeceased by his parents, Francis and Alice Walsh of Cobalt, Connecticut.

A lifelong Connecticut resident, Greg graduated Cromwell High School and attended Providence College and the University of Hartford before his career in real estate development and commercial property management. Greg came out of retirement to help his brother Chris establish The Vets-Cars Group to assist members of the military and veteran community.

Greg was nothing if not a rugged individualist. His intelligence, sharp wit, keen sense of irony and almost photographic memory were his most memorable traits. He was a voracious reader and avid bodybuilder. He selected his friends carefully and had few but those whom he allowed to be close were fortunate and will never forget him.
