I was a fly on the wall at a funeral I'll never forget

It was a funeral which celebrated Syracuse and the incredible life of Mayor William Walsh. 

Cities are built like Lives...with passion, hard work and determination. 

Mayor Walsh was a man of integrity who gave his life to raising his family and to building up our community.

He was driven, not by his ego, but by a strong commitment to a city that he loved. 

We are lucky to have such a wonderful example of leadership, which no doubt, if followed, will bring us continued growth and success.

William Walsh was the Mayor of Syracuse from 1961 - 1969.
He served as United States Congressman for 3 terms starting in 1973.

"In the end he was who he was raised by his parents to be
– a good and gentle man.”

Rest In Peace
