Eamonn was a wonderful man and kind hearted to boot. I remember him cashing my checks at Vaughans making sure I didn't spend the entire check in the pub. He would say "Come back on mon/tues and pick up the rest". Ive known him for over 25 years and will miss his cheerful demeanor and quick wit. Rest in peace my friend. Go Neiri and Bothar leat. Condolences to all the family from Ferdia, Nora, Bebhinn, Aonghus agus Maude.
