Paddy was a hard worker—having worked as a trawlerman for 36 years, retiring from National Sea Products in 1992. He was a good friend to many including his neighbours and very active in his church community and Masonic Park. He was always dependable and more than willing to help anyone. He will be remembered and missed by all who knew him.
Cremation has taken place. Mass of Christian Burial and Celebration of Life will take place at a later date with interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
