The large numbers of people who called to his wake at his sister's home at Ballylannon, Malin to offer their sympathy and attended her funeral reflected the high esteem in which he was held. His requiem mass was celebrated by Fr. Brian Brady. Hymns were sung by Danny Mc Carron and lessons were read by his nieces Irene and Margaret. Prayers of the faithful were read by his nephew Sean and his grand-niece Aoibheann and grand-nephew Ronan. Offerty gifts were brought to the altar by his grand-nieces Caoimhe and Shauna and his grand-nephew Oran. Deepest sympathy is extended to his sister Kathleen, his brother Willy (New York), to her nieces Irene, Margaret and Patricia and nephews Sean and Kevin and all his grand-nieces and grand-nephews and his friends. Month Mind Mass to-night Friday 2nd May at 7.30pm in St. Patrick's Church, Aughaclay.
May he rest in peace.
