Wappingers Falls, NY - Frank X. Walsh, Jr., a longtime resident of Wappingers Falls for more than 60 years, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, April 30, 2026. He was 90 years old.

Born on January 22, 1936, in Yonkers, New York, Frank was the son of the late Frank X. Walsh, Sr. and Louise (Logue) Walsh. He grew up in the Bronx before settling with his family in the Hudson Valley. Frank attended Westchester Community College and later earned a bachelor's degree from Marist University.

For nearly 40 years, Frank enjoyed a distinguished career as a mechanical engineer with IBM, working at the company's facilities in East Fishkill, Poughkeepsie and Boca Raton, Florida. He retired in 1991, but later returned as a consultant, continuing to share his expertise for many years.

Frank was a man who loved creating with his hands. An accomplished woodworker, he spent countless hours in his workshop building beautiful furniture and thoughtful gifts for his family and friends. He also had a great passion for model railroading and took immense pride in constructing intricate train layouts complete with detailed landscapes and scenery. In his later years, he discovered a new love for poker and became an enthusiastic player of Texas Hold'Em, regularly enjoying games and tournaments with family and friends.

Frank met Elaine on a blind date, and just eight months later, on February 9, 1957, they were married at St. Denis Church in Yonkers. They celebrated 69 years of marriage together. Elaine survives him at their home in Wappingers Falls.

He is also survived by his three sons: Kenneth F. Walsh (Barbara) of Elizabeth, New Jersey; Robert M. Walsh (Lisa) of Valatie, New York; and Thomas A. Walsh of Poughkeepsie, New York. He was the cherished grandfather of seven grandchildren: Jason Walsh (Caitlin), Justin Walsh (Ashley), Michael Walsh (Laura), Christopher Walsh, Jack Walsh, Noelle Corrado, and Thomas Corrado; and the proud great-grandfather of eight great-grandchildren: Delaney, Mairead, Karson, Beckham, Teagan, Ellis, Winona, and Amara. He is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

In addition to his parents, Frank was predeceased by his brother, Bart Walsh.
