Sad and wonderful memories of Paddy Joe, my brother in law and close friend of many years. A man of great knowledge, a true gentleman, always willing to help and best man at my marriage.
Even though he resided in Philadelphia he kept regular contact with home especially Larha. He made many, many trips across the Atlantic to attend family events.
Although you have sadly left us we have invaluable memories of holidaying around Ireland and USA.
To my sister Marguerite and Hennessy family my heartfelt sadness and love to you all. Rest in peace Paddy Joe.
