Murray "Moe" Gordon Walsh, 81, of Grand Barachois passed away on May 14, 2022, at the Moncton Hospital following a brief illness. 

Moe was born in Saint John, New Brunswick on July 31, 1940, to Gordon and Olive (Kincade) Walsh, where he spent his formative years. After graduating from the University of New Brunswick in 1963 with a Bachelor of Science in Forestry, Moe spent a long and varied career working in the forestry industry, which led him all across the country. He retired from Corner Brook Pulp and Paper in Newfoundland in 2001. 

Among his many talents, Moe was an accomplished carpenter, having built and furnished a home in Grand Barachois following his retirement. He traveled extensively during his lifetime and prided himself in embracing local cultures and was never afraid of trying a new exotic dish or traveling (maybe a bit too far) off the beaten path. He was a quick wit and a natural storyteller and made friends easily wherever he went. When he wasn’t traveling, Moe had a passion for the outdoors and excelled at fishing and gardening. 

Moe is survived by his wife, Barbara Walsh; daughter, Kelly Dickinson (Hilary); two grandchildren: Alanna Dickinson (Johnathan) and Corey Dickinson; three sisters: Irene Sutton (Daryl), Linda Walsh and Pam Walsh (Randy); two aunts: Myrna and Beulah, several nieces and nephews, and many cousins. 

He was predeceased by his parents. 

A celebration of his life will take place at a later date. In Memory of Moe, a contribution to the Moncton Headstart would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Shediac (532-3297).
