Sincere sympathies to you all on the death of Padraig. May The Lord have mercy on his soul.

Our deepest sympathy on Padraig's death. Our late mother, Maura Toale, enjoyed his visits in the past and spoke very warmly of him.

Pat, Sincere sympathy on the death of your dad.

Sincere condolences to the McGinn Family. Fondly remembered as teacher, headmaster and neighbour. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Charles Eliot's :

'A good teacher is like eternity
He never knows where his influence stops'

Thank you Padraig for being my Mentor and Loving Uncle.
May You Rest in Peace.

Sincere sympathy on the death of Padraig. I intend to remember him as Mass this evening please God.

Deepest sympathy on the passing of Padraig. His name, together with a few other teachers I had in secondary school, comes up in my conversations from time to time. (In fact, I was telling someone about him a few weeks back.) I tend to give credit to that school, and those people, a lot because I feel so grateful for the education I received there and the times I had there. Padraig set the tone for that place. No one else. Him. And he really was everything you would want in a leader. Someone to admire and respect. Someone to trust and like. Dealing with him was always a pleasure. McGinn was fair. And we all knew it. He had brilliant ideas and told some very funny stories. His light shone very bright indeed, and we were all lucky to be his responsibility for a few years. Just enough time for his influence to last a lifetime. I hope. Good night Mr. McGinn, and thanks a lot.

I wish to express my sympathies to Padraig's children on their loss. Padraig had a great belief in the potential of Carrick on Shannnon Vocational school. Your mother Angela was very highly regarded by my parents in Dundalk.

Just heard of the passing of Padraig. Sincere condolences to all his family.
Padraig was an inspirational performer for many years at the Bard of Armagh Festival of Humorous Verse. He had a commanding stage presence, a remarkable strong and husky voice, which he projected to all corners of the hall. He had a vast store of self penned poems which always ignited the audience. We were delighted to have had the presence of Padraig and Angela at many sessions in Tossey's cottage Derrynoose. He at once was embedded in the spiritual energy of the place and left a lasting impression on everyone there. A singer of high quality was Padraig too. We will never see his likes again. May he rest in peace.

To Pat, Mary, and Ann,
My deepest condolences to you all on the loss of your dear Dad and my Uncle Padraig.
I have the happiest of memories of summers spent in Dundalk and fishing off Padraigs homemade barrel and pallet raft in Curracloghan lake for Pike and Perch.
The Church ceremony was a fitting tribute to Padraig's life.
Love
Gerard, Caroline, Emma, and Tom Malone

A kind and gentle man, condolences to the McGinn family at this very difficult time

So sorry we missed the Mass in person, but grateful to follow the service online. Brilliant eulogy, very fitting and not an easy task.
I called a couple of years back and spent many easy hours hours regaled by Uncle Pádraig's stories of his and his siblings youth. Angela, who hadn't been well a few years prior, was popping out for her messages, she returned a few hours later, to find us both as she left us. When I returned home I told everyone who would listen about how inspirational they were, living and thriving, largely independently well into their 80s.
It looked like despite all odds he might make it through this bout of illness but not to be. Hopefully we can get together in the near future to remember them in person.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

deepest sympayhy to the Mcginn on the death Padraig may he rest in peace

My sincerest condolences to all the family and friends of Padraig. Although I only met him a few times in recent years, I was very impressed by him as a person and his many interests and achievements. I've enjoyed hearing the stories from Eileen, his niece, and her mother, his sister Maura, and reading some of his Sunday Miscellany stories and look forward to reading more. It was great to be able to join the online service (sitting in Castleblayney with Eamon O'Reilly). A time of sadness, especially for all who can't make it, and yet also a time to celebrate Padraig's life adn take forward what he worked for. RIP Padraig.

Sincere sympathy to Pat, Ann and Mary on the death of your dear dad. My great memories of Padraig was collecting greenery from his garden to decorate St.Mary’s church at Easter time. He had such a selection to choose from. He was always so willing and helpful to give of his time and advise. He was the salt of the earth. He is now united with his dear wife Angela and he will join her in the communion of saints. Rest in peace, Padraig.

Sincere Sympathies to the McGinn family on the death of Padraig. We have fond memories of meeting Padraig with his good friend Harry O'Flynn on a trip to Brussels, and how he entertained us all making the trip very enjoyable. He was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he now rest in peace with his beloved wife Angela.
