Pat was the son of the late James and Mary McFaul, Ardmore, he was predeceased by his brothers Charlie, Eddie and Hughie some years ago. Pat was a farmer most of his life and in his younger years was a member of the F.C.A. He was of a very quiet nature and was a highly respected member of the community. Requiem Mass was concelebrated in the Sacred Heart, Muff, by Fr. John Farren, Fr. Eamon Martin, Fr. Colm Morris and Deacon Daniel McFaul. The music in the Church was provided by the Children's Church Choir. Deepest sympathy is extended to his brother Neil and to his many cousins and friends. The wake was attended by a large section of the community as was his funeral showing the high regard in which Pat was held. Burial took place in the Sacred Heart Cemetery. May he rest in peace.
