Patrick (Pat) Collins

It is with great sadness that I only heard today of Patrick's passing.
I knew Patrick from our schooldays in St. Fintan's High School, Sutton.
In 2008, Patrick and his group played at the pre- meal wedding reception of our Daughter, in Carton House, to the delight of all the wedding guests.
Good bye Patrick.
Kind regards,
John

We were so sorry to hear the sad news of Pat’s passing and send our sympathies to his family.

Pat was an amazing musician and a gentleman.
He brought pleasure to us every year when he played at our annual garden party in June.

He will be missed and may he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Maria and the girls and the extended family on the sudden and unexpected passing of dear Pat, a wonderful musician and a very good friend to our family. He played a beautiful piece on the violin called Meditation by Thais for our dear mother Gloria's funeral almost 14 years ago and he played music at our Dad's 90th birthday 7 years ago.
