It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our partner, colleague, and dear friend, Michael Sundance Walsh, on July 1, 2024. Mike was not only a remarkable attorney whose contributions, dedication, and spirit helped shape our journey and success, he was a cherished friend who had a smile for absolutely everyone. Mike was one of a kind, and for over 25 years at KD, where he started as an associate and ultimately became an equity partner, his commitment to excellence and unwavering advocacy for our clients earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues, judges, clients, and his very devoted team. But it was sense of humor, genuine kindness, and desire to befriend everyone, that set him apart. He was the life of the party, always ready with a joke, and had more friends than one could count. Mike was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and earned his Juris Doctorate Degree from St. Thomas University. He was a faithful and vociferous Celtics and Patriots fan, always ready to prove their prowess to anyone at any time. He had a soft spot for animals, and was a steadfast supporter of local shelters and the Humane Society. Mike enriched our lives in countless ways. As we mourn this tremendous loss, we also celebrate Mike’s life and legacy. We invite clients, colleagues, and friends to join us in honoring Mike’s memory. In these difficult times, our thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family. We extend our deepest condolences to them and ask that you keep them in your thoughts as well. Calling hours for Mike will be held on Saturday, July 13th from Noon until 3:00 p.m. at O’Connor Brothers Funeral Home, 592 Park Avenue. In lieu of flowers please make memorial contributions to the Worcester Animal Rescue League, 139 Holden Street, Worcester, MA 01606.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Doris “Lucki” Allen, PhD, the mother of a friend of the firm. Her life was a testament to courage, resilience, and extraordinary achievements. Dr. Lucki, who recently passed away at the age of 97, dedicated 30 distinguished years to the Women’s Army Corps (WAC), where she not only served her country with honor but also broke barriers as a Black woman. Her journey was marked by grace and determination, paving the way for others and earning her place in the Military Intelligence Corp Hall of Fame in 2009. Her contributions did not just make an impact, they leave a legacy that will inspire generations. At KD, we are committed to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. Dr. Lucki’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and celebrating diversity in all its forms. Her resilience in overcoming challenges in a predominantly male and non-diverse environment underscores the strength required to achieve her extraordinary success. As we extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Lucki’s family during this difficult time, we also celebrate her life and the indelible mark she left on her community and profession. Her legacy will continue to shine brightly, guiding us in our ongoing efforts towards to advancing diversity, inclusion, and equality. Rest in peace, Dr. Doris “Lucki” Allen -- thank you for your service.
