What a fine guy!
So sorry to hear of Tim’s death. We will always remember him dearly. RIP Tim !
All our love –
Tom & Diane Walsh
Working at Walsh Bros. Was like being with family. Tim was firm but fair and worked hard, later at night and on weekends.
I remember Tim hated snakes and wasn’t happy when I told him about a rattlesnake we saw at the cabin but did not kill it—such a teddy-bear Tim was :-). A joy to work for.
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.” (James 4:10)
This was Tim!!!
My deepest condolence to the family . Tim was a great businessman as will as a gentleman. He gave me the opportunity to work in the same business wich I was so grateful for .
Tim was a kind-hearted, thoughtful man, much like all Walsh/Hebern family members that I have known. All who knew him were better people because of him.
I am deeply saddened to learn of Tim’s passing. He, and Walsh Bros., will always remain forever in my heart because of our connection, my mother Grace (Gracie) Ross (4/19//14). During her 32 year tenure with Walsh Bros., she watched Tim grow and mature into a stellar individual, who always took special care to be kind, loving, and genuine to my Mom. She would be very sad too.
We shall keep you and your family in our hearts and thoughts through your time of loss. Memories are your greatest joy now and forever.
With sincerest sympathies,
Barbara and Michael Ross
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Tim. I’m thankful I was a part of the Walsh Bros. family and got to know him. He was such a sweet man.
RIP Tim
So sorry to hear this, I always looked forward to seeing him and having a few beers with him during the Payson Rodeo and visits to his cabin. It just won’t be the same.
When I first met Tim, he was called, “Uncle Timmy.” Very appropriate. He was drinking beer as well. Also very appropriate.
Tim was a very fine man who had the love and respect of many. Phoenix and Payson will never be the same again, without him. God bless you, Tim.
I knew Tim for many years as a supporter of Junior Achievement of Arizona. I am so sad to learn of his passing, but it sounds like he had a wonderful family and community support. Please know your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We appreciate him for being a part of the Junior Achievement family for so many years.
With much compassion,
Junior Achievement of Arizona

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Tim Walsh’s passing. He was an amazing man, very well respected and admired. I send prayers to the family for healing and getting through this difficult time. Take care.
Tim was a really decent man- I had the pleasure of working for him for a few years and the atmosphere at Walsh Bros. reflected his kindness and humor. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends!

I remember Tim as a kind soul. The Walsh household was always welcoming to our family. After church and doughnuts we would go there for a swim in the summer. It is where I learned to swim – just jumped in and made it across the width of the pool. Tim was older and I was too young to have a beer with him but wished I could have.
My condolences,
Ed also known as Brad of the Lay family (The Frances one)
My condolences to a great man. I had the pleasure of being part of the Walsh bros. Family in the late 90’s and Tim always made me feel like an important part of the business. I remember his laugh fondly. I am now working a block away from the original Phoenix location which prompted a search. Nonetheless I’m saddened to hear of his passing. Blessings to the Walsh family. And enjoy your Heavenly beer Tim!
