John A. "Jack" Walsh Obituary

John Andrew Walsh "Jack" 87, passed away on November 27, 2025 in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Philip and Mary (Leddy) Walsh. Jack lived a full and vibrant life marked by faith, loyalty, and a unique sense of humor.


Jack was a proud graduate of La Salle Academy Class of 1956 and later earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Providence College in 1968. His early career began at Ciba-Geigy in Cranston, where he worked during the 1960s and 1970s. He continued his career at Victor Corporation in West Warwick throughout the 1980s and 1990s.


As a family man, Jack was devoted to his loved ones. He is survived by his loving daughters Kathy Lamothe and husband Steve, and Kristen Corey (former husband Tom). His legacy also lives on through his treasured grandchildren: Dan Lamothe and wife Brooke, Andy and Ryan Lamothe, Kelly and Tommy Corey. He was preceded in death by his cherished first wife Donna (Kane) Walsh, and his beloved second wife Marie (DeMizio) Walsh. Jack is also survived by his sisters Pat Charpentier and husband Ed, Mary Florio and her husband Jerry, along with numerous friends and extended family members.


A man of deep faith and strong convictions, Jack had a remarkable ability to forge lasting friendships. He was known for his humor and loyal nature, qualities that endeared him to many throughout his life. After retiring he embraced the sunshine of Stuart, Florida, where he enjoyed golfing, watching the Atlanta Braves, and traveling throughout the United States proudly visiting 48 of our 50 beautiful states. His passion for road trips often led him to meeting friends for lunch, sharing stories and laughter for decades.


Jack later found a welcoming community at The Cypress of Hilton Head, where he created new friendships that brought joy and companionship in his later years. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
