New park bench dedicated to past Chief of Police
From the Wellsville Development Corporation,
On the afternoon of Sunday, September 27, a special dedication took place at Shane T. Colligan Park in memory of the late Timothy R. Walsh, former Wellsville Police Chief, firefighter, and devoted supporter of our community.
Surrounded by the families of both Shane and Tim, a new bench was dedicated in Tim’s honor, creating a lasting place for reflection, remembrance, and connection. This meaningful tribute celebrates a man who gave so much of himself to Wellsville and the people who call it home.
The Wellsville Development Corporation extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Colligan family for bringing this thoughtful idea to life. It is through gestures like this that we honor those who have made a lasting impact on our community and ensure their memories continue to live on for generations to come.
This wasn’t the first posthumous recognition for Walsh, read John Anderson’s reporting on the Village of Wellsville recognition on the 1 year anniversary of Tim’s passing below:
