The ring was not on Walsh's hand when his body, along with that of fellow firefighter Michael Kennedy, was removed from the building at 298 Beacon Street, the Boston Globe reported.

Kristen Walsh, his wife, called the Boylston Street firehouse to ask those who worked with Walsh to try to find it.

A top-to-bottom search of the firehouse found nothing, the Globe reported, leading his brother firefighters to believe it had to have been lost in the fire.

After hours of searching through the debris Tuesday, the ring was found by Patty Kenneally Donovan, the first woman appointed to the Boston Fire Department, and returned to Kristen Walsh on the eve of her husband's funeral.

A fund has been set up in memory of Walsh and firefighter Michael Kennedy, who also died in the fire. Donations can be made to:
