Billy’s wife Dorothy, his children Liam, Brendan & Clodagh would like to express their most sincere thanks for the outpouring of sympathy and support shown to them on their recent sad loss and during the weeks since.

Thank you to everyone who visited the Funeral Home, to all who attended Billy’s removal, funeral Mass and burial, to those who sent Mass cards, letters and texts, all who made donations to Arklow Lifeboat in Billy’s memory, those who shared happy memories and messages of support online and those who couldn’t be present but joined in the celebration of Billy’s funeral Mass online.

Thank you to the wonderful caring staff of St. Vincent’s Private Hospital who brought such comfort and dignity to Billy’s final weeks. Our sincere thanks to everyone at Arklow Medical Practice. Special thanks to Fr. Pádraig Ó’Cochláin for his prayers, guidance and beautiful funeral Mass and to Karla Tracey and Bridget Kenny for such lovely music. Thank you to our own extended families, our colleagues & friends and to our kind neighbours in Abbeyville, we thank you for a lifetime of friendship.

Thanks also to Declan and all the staff of Arklow Golf Club for their hospitality and to Helena and all at Hudsons Funeral Directors. Thank you to Tom and Jason for preparing Billy’s final resting place.

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

Billy’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, 29th September, at 11.30am in The Church of Saints Mary & Peter, Arklow. Those who cannot attend are welcome to join via webcam:  https://www.arklowparish.ie/webcam/
