The Walsh family lost three generations: grandfather Eugene, son Keith, and grandson Keith Jr. Close friend Bill Humby was lost alongside them. At the funeral, they were remembered for their big hearts, their love of hockey, and their love for the sea.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4479329\" data-originallang=\"en\">The waters of Newfoundland are known to be rough, treacherous, and these men knew that well. They went over just outside St. John's Harbour, so close to home. However, proximity does not temper the swells of the North Atlantic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4479330\" data-originallang=\"en\">We persevere on the sea to make our livelihood, but it takes without mercy and without reason.</p>",

La famille Walsh pleure des membres de trois g\u00e9n\u00e9rations: le grand-p\u00e8re Eugene, le fils Keith et le petit-fils du m\u00eame pr\u00e9nom. Un ami proche, Bill Humby, a p\u00e9ri avec eux. Lors des fun\u00e9railles, on a rappel\u00e9 leur grand coeur, leur passion pour le hockey et leur amour de la mer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4479329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les eaux qui baignent Terre-Neuve ont la r\u00e9putation d'\u00eatre souvent agit\u00e9es par des temp\u00eates. La navigation y est p\u00e9rilleuse, et ces hommes le savaient bien. Ils \u00e9taient \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 du port de St. John's, tout pr\u00e8s de chez eux, lorsque le destin a frapp\u00e9. Il n'est pas n\u00e9cessaire d'aller bien loin, sur l'Atlantique Nord, pour rencontrer une mer d\u00e9cha\u00een\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4479330\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous persistons \u00e0 prendre la mer, car c'est notre gagne-pain, mais elle emporte les p\u00eacheurs impitoyablement et sans raison.</p>"
