Sincere sympathy to his sister-in-law, Catherine, to his nieces, nephews and to all extended relatives.
Some of us have known Eamon from our College days, studying for exams and playing football.
He was always pleasant and umassuming, a great man to have known.
Throughout his life as a priest, he was a good and faithful servant of the Church and the people in all the parishes where he ministered, kind, caring and helpful. He had many friends, a real gentleman.
Since his retirement, he worked as a Chaplain at Knock Shrine where he provided a valuable service to pilgrims.
May Our Lady of Knock reward him now for all his labours and welcome him to her Heavenly home, to be happy among those who have gone before him.

reminiscences of Knock where he had been brought up.He was an excellent example of an old time Parish Priest
speaking to his people,and he was genuinely touched and very humble to receive a letter of congratulation from me.
He was very encouraging always,and I am sure he was greatly loved and will be sadly missed by his fellow priests and
the people he served.May he rest in peace.
