On Noel’s first anniversary, his wife Ann, sons Ciaran and Gareth, daughters-in-law Ruth and Fiona, grandchildren, sisters, brothers, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, wish to sincerely thank all those who sent mass cards, condolences, letters of sympathy and flowers. To those who were unable to travel and watched the live streaming of his funeral mass, we know that you were with us in spirit and your kind and thoughtful messages are very much appreciated.

Covid placed many restrictions on how we could celebrate Noel’s life but we were greatly touched by all those who stood outside our home and Terenure College Chapel. Thanks also goes to our exceptional friends and neighbours and to the community of Templeogue Village for all their support.

To Dr Bill Twomey, we will be forever grateful for his friendship and care of Noel over the years. Our thanks to the doctors and nurses of Tallaght Hospital who looked after Noel in his final days.

A special thanks to the priests of Terenure College, in particular Fr Martin Kilmurray, for his friendship over many years, spiritual support and prayerful celebration of Noel’s life.

Thank you to Masseys Bros. Funeral Directors, Templeogue, for their professionalism and attention to detail. In particular to Mary Cuniffe, for her kindness, sensitivity, advice and care for our family during this difficult time.

It would be impossible to thank everyone individually so please accept this as an expression of our deep appreciation and thanks. A mass will be offered for your intentions.
