The polished granite bench, which serves as a memorial to the lives of four men lost in a boating accident off St. John’s Harbour nearly seven years ago, overlooks the city.
Four men from Shea Heights—Eugene Walsh, his son Keith Walsh and grandson Keith Walsh Junior—lost their lives along with family friend Billy Humby while retrieving fishing gear in rough and windy conditions in September of 2016. The remains of Keith Sr. and Eugene Walsh were never recovered. Gloria Walsh, the daughter of Keith Walsh Sr., says it means the world to her to finally have a place to remember her father and grandfather.Jesse Wilkins, who started the project, says between COVID, bad weather and plants closing, it’s been a long time coming to get the monument in the ground.
