Gerard Daly, who grew up in Galway, described Dr. Daly as a “loving and inspirational man”.
He added: “It’s been very moving coming here to Derry. We always knew the great work that he’d done here and how close he was to people, but you really only get a sense of that when you are speaking to people, when you hear the tributes.
“People knew him as bishop, as a man to the people of Derry, but he shared the warmth that he had for everybody. Everybody was his family.”
