We received this from Joe Barr.
Hi Gerry,
I hope you are well and prospering.
You may recall that we discussed a while back that my Uncle Patsy Barr had been unwell for some time. Sadly he passed away on Tuesday of this week and was buried yesterday at Balnacrae following a very well attended mass beautifully celebrated by Father McGoldrick.
I shall be most grateful if you would convey the family’s sincere gratitude to everyone in Moville who supported Patsy over the past few years of failing health, especially his dear friend John Harkins & John’s wife, Susie.
My Uncle Patsy was the most resourceful, hard working & inventive person that I have ever known & he will be sadly missed by all the family.
A few years ago I wrote a song in loving tribute to him in life. It now seems even more apt as an appreciation following his passing & I would be very grateful if you would publish the link below so that others might understand what a wonderful & inspirational person that he was. He will be greatly missed by us all. As ever, he has the last word!
Thanks,
Best wishes,
Joe Barr
