Remembering Alexander “Alec” Dunne Walsh

Alexander Dunne Walsh was born on Sept. 27, 1943 and passed away on March 27, 2022.

Known to everyone as Alec – he was born to James and Betty Walsh – and raised on the family farm, Berkeley, in Bluemont, Virginia. 

Walsh developed a love for western Loudoun County, where family roots reached back to the early 1900’s. Riding a school bus 16 miles daily to attend Loudoun County High School in Leesburg, he graduated in 1961 and then left Loudoun to attend Virgina Tech. He graduated in 1965, and became a lifelong Hokie sports fan.

After college he taught in Prince William County, Virginia before switching careers to become a real estate agent. With a keen sense for business, he eventually opened his own company, Walsh and Associates, and became one of the most successful real estate agents in Loudoun County.

An avid golfer, Walsh golfed for many years at the Loudoun Golf and Country Club in Purcellville, and served as President from 1996 to 1999.   

Walsh also volunteered in supporting local youth sports, and served as President of Ebenezer Cemetary in Bluemont.

Left to perpetuate his memory are his four siblings, Jerry Walsh (Nancy), Mary Liz McCauley (Steve), Timmy Walsh (Diane) and Pat Walsh, and his nieces and nephews Laura Walsh, Jennifer Glor, Ken Walsh and RJ Walsh, and great niece Charlotte Walsh and great nephew Brock Walsh.

Alec touched many lives, and leaves behind countless friends and colleagues who will be telling tales about him for many years yet to come.
