Matt was a great lawyer, a very patient mentor, an outstanding outfielder on the State´s Attorney softball team, and a uniquely funny person. RIP my friend.

To the Walsh Family,
It saddened us to hear of Matt's passing,my parents thought the world of Matt. They enjoyed staying with Matt and Eileen on their many trips to Chicago. As a child I remember Matt and how warm and friendly he was, and how he loved to talk! To be fortunate enough to be in the company of the Walsh brothers and hear their stories was truly a treat. We were blessed to have known Matt.
You are all in our prayers.
