Patrick Heneghan

December 24, 2009

Pat Heneghan was one of the quietest warriors I know Overcoming hurdles and always being there to help someone was his life's mission. His family was his life and he was a true patriarch to others outside of his immediate family. In later years he had the unknowing strength to assist his brother and my father into a better life. I am so grateful for his efforts. I enjoyed our talks, our lunches, and most of all his character and passionate spirit that was contagious to others and his kindness to me will stay with me forever. Paying tribute to a great man is an honor in itself. Long may you run!!!! Your family should be so proud.
Your nephew,
Pat
