I stumbled on your Dad's obituary by accident while looking for someone else. You don't know me but I met your Dad once in Doolin at O'Connor's Pub. I believe he was there for his nephew's funeral. We were vistiting from Mass. and happened to sit next to him. He delighted us with stories of his early years in Ireland and being born just above where we sat. He made us all laugh with his stories(one was that his young, adorable granddaughter was his girlfriend). He made such an impression us...
