Patrick (Pat) O'Hora

Uncle Pat,
I always saw you as living in the whole world instead of just a tiny part of it like so many of us. I'm so glad about the time you spent with us, and the influence you had - I'll avoid the evils of advertising as best as I can!

Thank you for all the trips to Ireland, and my first Guinness tash (and you always had a spare licorice cough drop).

I miss you.

My memory of Patrick
Patrick, an intelligent man.
Who enjoyed the simple things in life.
Every day was it's own.
Not a care in the world as
he Journeyed through Life.
Never complained.
Loved to meet family and friends and was interested
in everyone.
Enjoyed a laugh and good
conversation with all.
I will miss your phone calls.

Rest in Peace
Patrick

As a kid you were a figure of mystery and adventure to me, exotic even. I remember the letters from Oz being read aloud at Grandad’s and little Regan didn’t mind receiving the opal. Later I got to know you as the grounded and kind man you were. Rest in peace Uncle Pat.

We are so sorry to hear this very sad news of Pats death. We have a mobile home in Donabate and always enjoyed meeting Pat and he loved to talk about living in England and his life In Australia. Such an interesting man. He will be missed

Sincerest condolences to Ann, Shannon and all the O'Hora family on the passing of Pat . May he rest in peace.

A privilege to have had him as a brother, His personality meant he made friends instantly , a true gentleman & scholar.

Pat didn’t need much to be happy and so his life was. A good walk and alternative lifestyle fuelled his days. A smart man with an unforgettable sense of humour. A man who saw many horizons, his home was where he lay his head. However, it was clear his heart lied in Ireland and he will always have a place in ours.

Sincere sympathy on the death of Pat to Anne , Shannon and the extended O'Hora family.

Uncle Pat,
When I meet someone with a few too many airs and graces I smile to myself thinking of what you would say! You’re probably the least pretentious person I’ve ever met, which just highlights the geunineness of your kindness and generosity. I think it’s fair to say that your independence and freedom were very precious to you, but you also adapted to living with the demands of two young children; watching endless episodes of The Simpsons with Liam and me, telling child-friendly versions of your travel tales, and attempting to teach chess to possibly the worst chess player in the world (sorry). I loved catching your eye when something tickled you – and something nearly always did; so many things could elicit your little chuckle, which immediately made you look like a schoolboy again. You’re unforgettable.

The loss of a loved one at any time is a very sad occasion for family and friends.
At this time, with all the restrictions the loss is made the more heart-breaking and sadder for all.
I want you to know that as Public Representatives, we all understand the burden that the current regulations place on you all.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. In time I hope you will be able to reflect and remember fondly the moments you shared with Pat.
Stay safe and look after each other.
May he Rest in Peace and God bless you all.

Although I never knew you that well due to your nomadic lifestyle I remember every family member speaking of you always with a smile. May you rest in peace uncle pat.

Uncle Pat, you were a wonderful, kind and exciting uncle. Your way of life is an inspiration to rival any self help book.

To live simply and not to need things to be happy.
To love and be loved by your family.
Show kindness to strangers.
Travel the world with an adventurous spirt.
Find the humour in everything.
Stay clever and curious.
Be you, for you, always.

Rest In Peace. The world is worse off today without you in it x

They broke the mould when they made Pat. His big smile and way with people made him stand out. I recall visiting him in Donabate and during a walk around the coast I lost count of the people that stopped to say hello. He was well known for his warm nature. Will raise a glass to you mo Chara, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Pat, hard to find words to say how I am feeling but I am comforted by the fact that you lived your life the way you wanted and you really had a fulfilled, interesting life.

You were humble, kind, compassionate and caring towards everyone you met. You were always on the side of the underdog. You were not materialistic, loved the simple things in life, walks, people, travelling and current affairs. You would talk to anyone on any subject and loved hearing about their lives and their interests.

I was blessed to have you as a brother and will miss you so much. Anne x

Pat, wherever you were - from the Britwell Estate in Slough, to the streets of New York, the Australian outback, to the tranquility of Donabate - you were always true to yourself and very much your own man.

Rest in peace.

Mick

Shed not too many tears for our Pat
He would never have wanted that
He lived life to the full, every 'off the grid' day'
With those that he loved just a phone call away
So miss him, don't mourn him, it wasn't his way

To all patrick family from Padraig and frances ohora

Having only recently gotten to know Pat, I will always remember his wonderful spirit, great sense of humour & his sharp mind. He was up on the current affairs of the day & we had wonderful chats about a range of topics. I will surely miss him & I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his family & friends.

My dear brother Pat, he travelled the world,
What has he seen, what has he heard?
Who has he taught, what did he learn?
Why has he gone? How my heart yearns...

Rest in Peace

Deepest sympathy to the O'Hora family. May he rest in peace

I’m so proud you were my uncle, you really did live life to the full, how you wanted. People loved you and you loved people. Smart, funny, kind with a silent laugh, a nod of the head and a great sense of humour. I know your at peace now with Grandad and Peter, until we meet again on the other side... rest in eternal peace xx

My Dearest Brother Patrick, born in England, lived in the USA and Australia for many years and finally came to rest in Ireland with our Irish family and friends whom you loved. Oh Pat, how we are all going to miss you, kind, warm, caring, funny and interested in everybody and everything. Our hearts are broken, you are such a big loss to our family. May you rest in peace. Your loving sister Bernadette.

We extend our deepest sympathies to all Patrick’s family on the death of Patrick. We always knew him to be an absolute gentleman. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to each member of the O Hora family on the death of their beloved brother, Patrick.May his gentle soul rest in peace....love Helena

I only got to know Patrick recently but in that short time I found him to be a gentleman who had a kind word for everyone. I will miss the chats, but take solace in being the better for knowing him.
