Born and raised in Finley, Walsh spent two seasons with the North Melbourne before returning to Finley for family reasons.
He was driving his utility with another man when he failed to see a railcar approach. Walsh died instantly in a level-crossing collision near Tocumwal in July 1955.[2] He was survived by a wife and three young boys.
