WHER FAS, the said John Walsh has, by his good advice
and thru his kindness of heart been a friend and
advisor to both young and old in said City during
the past forty-two years and has devoted his life
to the service of the people of McHenry and- given
unsparingly of his time and strength as a servant
of the people and of the City of McHenry, without
thought of himself, and
WHEREAS his long hours of service throughout the past
forty-two years and his untiring devotion to duty
have taken up the best years of his life ,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of McHenry, does hereby extend its sympathy
to Mrs LoRell A Walsh and to the family of the said
Jack Walsh.
The City of McHenry has sustained an irreparable loss,
a trustworthy servant of the City and one who could be
depended on in every emergency has passed on to a
better reward, and a vacancy in the City administration
is left that cannot be filled. We realize that you
of his family have also sustained an even greater loss
and as members of the City Council of the City of Mc-
Henry, we wish to extend our sympathy to the bereaved
members of his family and we want you to know we
appreciate the great service that Jack Walsh has ren-
dered to the City of McHenry and to the citizens of
said City throughout the many years of his service and
that he was the most valuable employee in the service
of the City and that his place cannot be filled. We
and our predecessors in office, had been accustomed
to lean on him too heavily and because of his kind
disposition, placed more burdens on him than we should
have, but he never faltered in the performance of
his duties and went out of his way to do more than he
was required. We assure you that if there is any
assistance or help of any sort that can be rendered you
in this hour of sorrow, that we, the City Council of
the City of McHenry, wish you to feel free to call on
us, and we again offer our heartfelt sympathy to you
of his family who have sustained this great loss."
