Sam’s brother John & all his family would like to express their most sincere thanks for the many expressions of sympathy & support they received at the time of Sam’s sudden & sad passing.

Thanks to all those who visited the funeral home, attended Sam’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, sent cards & flowers, shared beautiful memories & warm wishes online & all those who travelled long distances to be with us.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Arklow Gardai & Emergency Services for their compassion, kindness & invaluable help on the day Sam passed away. Thanks also to Dr Foster & his team at Harbour Road Surgery for their care over the years.

Very special thanks to Sam’s friends & colleagues from An Post for their respectful Guard of Honour – Sam would have been so proud.

Thank you to Fr Pádraig Ó’Cochláin for his prayers & lovely funeral Mass & to Lucy Carolan & Rosarie Kinsella for their beautiful music.

Thanks also to the management & staff of The Old Ship for their hospitality after the funeral, Joe & Tom from R.S.S. for tending to the grave & all at John Sweeney & 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.

Sam’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 11th December at 11.30am & those who cannot attend are welcome to join via the church webcam
