It is with incredible sadness that I share that longtime Will County Executive Larry Walsh has passed. Larry was more than a colleague he was a great friend. He had an amazing way of befriending and guiding anyone willing to listen. His style of leadership is not often found and transcended partisanship. Our community and I could always count on his partnership. I will miss seeing the photos of him this all his grandchildren that he loved so much. Our region has lost a great leader, wonderful friend and man who’s legacy we will continue to build our communities on.
Farewell my friend.
