Paul RICE

Paul Rice of Stepaside, Dublin 18 and formerly of Dundalk, Co Louth, passed away peacefully, at home on Saturday 2nd May 2020, surrounded by his family, Norah, Aoife and Donncha, after a short illness, fought with bravery and dignity.

Paul will be very sadly missed by his wife Norah, children Aoife and Donncha,  sisters Leon, Carrie and Shona, brothers-in-law, sisters-in law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, godson, goddaughters, relatives and friends and his colleagues in the wider Musgrave group. Predeceased by his mother Mairead and sister Gwen.

In the words of Aoife and Donncha; “My Dad didn’t tell me how to live; my Dad lived and let me watch him do it”.

Paul enjoyed the good things in life, probably because he is one of the good people in life!

Due to HSE guidelines, the funeral will be confined to immediate family only. However, the family invite you to join them for Paul’s funeral mass on Wednesday 6th May at 10.00am on www.churchservices.tv/sandyford . When the current circumstances have passed, we look forward to celebrating Paul’s life. Family flowers only. Donations, if desired, to Blackrock Hospice, www.olh.ie  and the Irish Cancer Society, www.cancer.ie .

The family have asked that you take some time to send a card with some nice or funny memories or photos of Paul, so that over time, they can read them, and Aoife and Donncha will have fond memories of their Dad, who was taken too soon.

"May he rest in peace"
