It is with great sadness that my Mum, Beatrice, brother John and I said good bye to our father and husband Patrick, on Monday, January 9th. He passed away peacefully, with us by his side, after a year long struggle with health complications.

'He was a, 'Good man, and I would marry him again', my mother would often say. They celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary in August of 2022; as much in love now as they were when they married. I would say even more, if that's possible.

For my brother and I, and our sister, Maureen, who is now with him, we had the Best Dad. He was kind, loving, had the best 'Dad Jokes', supportive, and truly dedicated to his family. Dad you will be greatly missed by us, your siblings, sisters and brothers-in-laws, nieces and nephews, granddaughters, and great grandsons.

Rest in peace Dad, and enjoy your time laughing, telling bad jokes, and having of tea with Maureen.
