When brokers mention the Walsh Agency it's usually followed by a John Walsh story. Everyone I have spoken with in the past few months have told me what a character he was. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that John passed away earlier this year. He was lucky, he played golf, and bridge on Wednesday, got sick on Thursday, and never woke up. His faith was very strong, and I have no doubt John is making people laugh in heaven. Here is a link to his obituary.
John started the Walsh Agency over 43 years ago, and he was passionate about ethics, and anti-money laundering. He truly felt it was his responsibly to keep brokers, and IBs informed. He was a natural teacher, and his knowledge, and understanding of the material made him a valuable resource to many of us. I was very lucky to call him my mentor, and my father.
I have actively been working at the Walsh Agency for over 16 years when John and I wrote the original Ethics courses. I collaborated with John on “How to Trade Futures”, “ Anti-Money Laundering Training” and conducted the research for all of our courses. I am a licensed Series 7, 6, 3, 31, AML, and Ethics broker. I have been training, and writing sales materials for over 20 years. I became the owner of the Walsh Agency in 2012. As John planned, the transition was seamless. We will continue to offer exceptional courses, sales material, and audit services. We will maintain the superior customer service that John was so proud of. It will always be the Walsh Agency standard.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions, or want to share a John Walsh story.
