Walsh, Thomas W. Age 88 of Roseville, passed away Friday, Dec. 21, 2018. Peacefully, surrounded by those he loved and who loved him. He lived a long life, and more importantly the life he wanted. He loved classic literature (especially Tolstoy and Dickens), travel (he loved Venice), history (he watched WWII movies endlessly) dogs, golf, swimming and vacationing at his beloved Gull Lake. He served proudly for more than 30 years as a judge with the State of Minnesota. We will always remember his big laugh, booming voice, and huge heart. Preceded in death by wife of 49 years Rosemarie. Survived by sister, Mary (Bucky) Janssen; children, Rick (Kirsten) Walsh, Tom (Connie) Walsh, Janet (Lutz Hess) Walsh and Mike (Emily Ireland) Walsh and 11 grandchildren who were the light of his life: Cora, David Sam, Tommy, Isabella, Franklin, Matthew, Niko, Jonah, Rose and Will.
