Our most sincere thanks to Brian’s oncologist Prof. Crown & his team at St. Vincent’s Hospital, to his G.P. Dr. June Coates, to the Palliative Care Team & to all who assisted us in Brian’s care during his illness.

Our most heartfelt thanks to our dear friend Rev Michael Anderson for his pastoral care, for so many years of comradery, for his constant reassuring presence throughout this difficult time & for celebrating Brian’s life so beautifully. Thank you also to Alison Crammond for her organ accompaniment, fulfilling one of Brian’s final wishes.

To our extended families, colleagues, neighbours & friends & to our other family - our Church family, your continued support & kindness is much appreciated & will never be forgotten.

Thank you to the management and staff of The Arklow Bay Hotel for their hospitality, to Jason & Tom for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney and Sons Funeral Directors.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.
