Sincere condolences to all Paddy's relatives, Dalgan Community and many friends.
He was a very sincere Holy man with a great sense of fun. He was well loved in the Parish of St. Jude and worked very hard here after his retirement from many years in Japan. He was a quiet gentle soul who, no doubt, was already in Heaven while still here on earth.
He will be very sadly missed by all who knew him. St. Therese of the Child Jesus and Holy face on her death bed said "I will spend my Heaven doing good on earth" this, Paddy will also do, He had a great love of St. Therese of Lisieux and she him.
Paddy, you are sadly missed.
Elsie and Tommy Wade

Sincere condolences to Fr Paddy Clarke's extended family on his sad death. As a cousin and a friend I will miss him greatly. It pains me to say: we were both in Japan at the same time, but didn't manage to meet up. We made up for it in later years.
