Sylvester "Syl" Thomas Walsh
October 24 1946 ~ September 14 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Sylvester "Syl" Thomas Walsh on September 14th, 2025, at Saint Luke's Place, Cambridge, Ontario, at the age of 78.
Syl was born on October 24th 1946, in Bell Island, Newfoundland. Syl carried the spirit and warmth of Newfoundland in his heart throughout his life.
Syl will be lovingly remembered by his sons Glenn and Michael and forever cherished by his grandchildren, Avery, Brayden, and Lily.
He is survived by his brothers Dave (Charlotte) Walsh of Bell Island Newfoundland, and Rich (Judy) Walsh of Cambridge, Ontario, as well as several nieces and nephews who adored him, along with numerous loving extended family and friends.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife Tina (Baker) Walsh, and his parent's Jim and Clara Walsh, and brother Arthur "Art" Walsh (Heather).
Syl was known for his quick wit, sense of humor, and his kind heart. He embraced everyone for who they were. Syl was a passionate fan of both baseball and hockey. He always had a story to tell and a joke to be shared. He loved being surrounded by family and friends, often stirring up good natured shenanigans and laughter where ever he went.
A special thank you to his devoted brother Rich Walsh who visited him often, and brought joy to Syl 's days and to his friends Ron Gorman (Lynda) and Ken Keels (Gertie), your friendships meant the world to him. He was blessed with many other loving family members and special friends whose presence enriched his life.
The family would also like to express heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Staff at Saint Luke's Place in Cambridge. Your unwavering support, compassion, kindness and warm smiles brought comfort and dignity during Syl's time with them. You just didn't care for him, you embraced him like family. For that, we will be forever grateful. Syl adored you all.
Syl’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him—he will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
A private family graveside service will be held on October 26th, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. at Mountview Cemetery, Cambridge. Friends are warmly invited to a gathering at the Cambridge Newfoundland Club following the service from 1pm -4pm.
