I never had the opportunity to meet John. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Mr. Walsh. He left a legacy of helping patients with COPD improve their quality of life. It falls to us to continue to build on the foundation he established. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

It truly is a loss for these communities, his family and all the people he helped along the way. We are all better because of him, whether physically, professionally or personally. He left a mark on everyone he came into contact with.
