DEATH
The death occurred of Rev Fr Pat Moore, Littor Road, Asdee, former parish priest of Duagh/ Lyreacrompane and many other parishes. Beloved son of the late Mick and Peg. Deeply regretted by his loving brothers Diarmuid and Michael, sisters in law Jacintha and Geraldine, nephews Shane, Michael, Gearoid and Conor, niece Cliona, relatives, neighbours, and many many friends including Bishop Ray Browne and fellow priests.
It was with great sadness on Monday, May 1, that we learnt of the passing of Fr Pat Moore our former parish priest and chairman of the board of Lyreacrompane National School. Even though he had been absent from his former duties with us, he was forever in our thoughts and prayers throughout his illness. Many in our community could share a joke, a story or a tale or two of their time spent with him. Fr Pat was a man of the people whose silent work touched the lives of many. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís. Codladh sámh.
