Our sincere Condolences go out to Michelle, Sean, Declan, Liam, and Ronan on the loss of your Dad and Grandad.
Your Dad always spoke very highly of you and he expressed how proud he was of you all.
Michelle, you are the best daughter a father could have ever asked for, and your Dad, told me so many times over, and over how lucky he was to have you in his life.
I was lucky to have met this wonderful man Wicklow Joe in 1969 when he was home on a visit from Australia. He came to visit our family in Co. Wicklow and that makes 54 years ago since I bet this beautiful human being.
He was an amazing storyteller and he shared stories from all over the world>
He sure loved life and lived it to the fullest.
He was sure a pure gentleman and he inspired both young and old.
We know you are watching over us from heaven now, Wicklow Joe, and saying one of your favorite quotes, Hey Fella what are you all doing down there?
We sure could write a # 1 bestselling book about our dear friend.
May God Bless you. Rest in Rest in internal peace, Wicklow Joe.
Love, Ann & Dermot Scully.
Our love Ann & Dermot Scully.
