Dear Joanie - Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Also to all of Paddy's siblings. His passing leaves a

great void - not only for you but for all of us who knew him. As they say only the good die young and it seems God has bigger and better plans for Paddy. We will keep you in our prayers. God bless, Kathleen and Nora.

Dear Joanie, Patrick, Mary, Tommy, Sarah, Christy, Navreet, Mark, and all the grandkids,



We are completely shocked and extremely saddened at the passing of Paddy. He was a great husband, dad, and grandpa. Both Eddie and I knew him for so long and can not imagine him not being on Joanie's side. He was the first person Eddie ever golfed with and he had the first children I ever babysit for. We both have so many memories of him and each one wonderful From when he get married, to the birth of his own kids and grandkids. He was a truly a great Mayo man who will be missed by so many. You are all in our constant thoughts and prayers.

Ed, Maura and boys
