Patsy O'Hara Obituary
O'HARA PATSY Republican Socialist who died on Hunger Striker
21st May 1981
His charming ways and smiling face are a pleasure to recall,
He had a kindly word for each, and died beloved by all.
Sadly missed along life's way, quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share, but in our hearts he's always there.
Wonderful memories woven in gold, this is a picture I tenderly hold,
Deep in our hearts a memory is kept, to love, to cherish, never to forget.
Remembered by your mother, Peggy, brothers, Sean and Tony, sisters, Liz, nephew, Kevin and baby, Patsy, nieces, Fionnuala, Cliona and Michaela, grand-nieces, Corriie and Leah, also remembered by Claude, Maureen, Nuala and Eanna

A poem for Patsy
As the anniversary of Patsy's death again approaches, I add this poem I wrote back in 1981,
His face was that of one long old,
Whose time ran short, whose blood was cold,
Eyes half-blind that tried to see,
The dying man was twenty-three.
Body wasted to skin, to bone,
He died -as all must die - alone,
For it matters not who else is near
We face alone that final fear.
Face his he did with spirit brave,
His life for his beliefs he gave,
His life for Ireland down he lay,
Jesus, Mary, it seemed the only way.
Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy, written 1981,
mother of Patrick (Padraig) Murphy, age 9, named in honor of both my grandfather, Pat Neely, and Patsy O'Hara.
