Our sincere and heartfelt sympathies to you Kevin and to all Patrick’s family, neighbours and his wide circle of friends of all generations. We just got this sad news.
Patrick was the dearest sweetheart of a man. The first day I saw him coming across the yard at Light House Hill I knew by those bright blue eyes he was kind x and a minx ! And I couldn’t wait to open the door and have a chat with him. Which is exactly what I we did, after putting the kettle on. Many chats over the years, in our trips, cups of tea, cards, news from Roscommon and Mayo exchanged. I will miss you with all my heart Patrick ❤️ Caroline Brennan – Boyle and Frenchpark,Roscommon and Husband Jonathan x x Rest in heavenly peace Patrick, Gods speed home
