James Joseph Walsh ’50
He was born in Elizabeth, N.J., and graduated from Canterbury School. At Princeton, he majored in biology, worked for WPRU, was an officer in the Catholic Club, and was a member of Campus Club. He roomed with his brother, John T. Walsh ’52, and Charlie Johnson. He left Princeton in 1949.
At our 10th, he wrote from St. Louis that since leaving Princeton he had earned a degree in modern languages at Seton Hall University, spent a year studying law at Rutgers, and served two years in the Army as a military police officer. At that time his interests were in hospital administration. He married Rose Orlando in 1959.
We know little of J.J. since then, except that he had a daughter and two sons and had lived for many years in Phoenix. We belatedly extend our condolences to his survivors.
