Jim’s book earns €500 for the hospice
THE Drogheda Hospice Homecare has benefitted to the tune of €500 thanks to a book by the late Jim Brady.
Jim was a real livewire when it came to wit and his letters often appeared in the Drogheda Independent, signed City of Drogheda.
Jim’s very entertaining and memorable book was published after his death and the proceeds went to the hospice group locally.
A proud Ballsgrove man and a proud son of the Boyneside, he was the very first person to declare Drogheda a city many years ago. Often a spark of inspiration would drive him to put pen to paper and off to Shop Street he’d go, the letters page often graced by his words, no matter the subject.
He very much loved his trips to Kos in Greece and it became his second home - ‘a little glimpse of heaven on earth’ as he put it.
