Michael Mike Thomas Walsh

Mike came to our transition house in July 2007. At that time he was already being treated for lung cancer and had only been given a few months to live. Mike, however, was much stronger than anyone expected. With excellent health care and his strength of spirit Mike dealt with his illness and blessed us with his presence over the past three and a half years.

His music, his smiles, dry sense of humour and his Newfie accent will be sadly missed by everyone who knew and loved Mike.

We are all richer for the extra time God granted us with Mike.

We would like to give special thanks to Mike’s visiting nurses, Dr. Friesen and the staff of D2 at PRHC. We would also like to thank “all the guys at the house” who helped make the last few years of Mike’s life the best they could be.

In place of flowers, donations to Peterborough Community Chaplaincy will be welcomed and used for a monument for Mike’s burial plot.

Visiting will be held at the Comstock Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, 356 Rubidge Street, Peterborough, on Tuesday, January 4th, from 7-9 pm. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, January 5th, in the Comstock Chapel at 1 pm. Father Paul Massell officiating. Interment to follow at Highland Park Cemetery.
