I am glad that I cannot say the words of that old Irish song, "I hardly knew ye," because I was privileged to know you.

In this life, to have a friend, a real friend, is a great gift. Nowadays, sadly, the word has been cheapened and used indiscriminately. A friend is someone who is loyal, generous, kind, understanding. Someone who stands with you through thick and thin, through good times and bad. I can say, you were that to me.

On the training field with our companions, with your Duffy and Bridie, we worked hard. And afterward, you would often come back to my place and in the summer we sat on the patio, in the winter before the fire, having a beer and talking about dogs, of course, but also about life, politics, religion and much more. I will never forget the times we shared.

I am grateful to have had you as my friend and I will miss you dearly. Your memory will be with me always. Éirinn go Brách
Your friend, Ray
