Well done James. I attended the ceremony at the church. It was a very big turn out - literally standing room only. It was testament to the man's generosity of spirit and to his fellow man.
Listers will be touched to hear that amongst several items placed on a table at the front, to represent the important things in Padraig's life, were a Leeds United shirt and a charger cable for a laptop, which I think are particularly poignant in our little sphere of contact. 'We' were also mentioned by his family when they spoke, and there was even a prayer read out to all people in supporters groups - Padraig was also active on other Internet groups, to do with his charity cycling activities etc. It was a moving ceremony, and I was happy to be there to help represent the List. Padraig was a top bloke, and he will clearly be missed by many... Nigel (the Dublin one) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James A.

I made my way back to PO'C's home though, and was invited in where I spent the guts of an hour trying to explain what mailing lists, list meets, MOALMs, Adelphi/Britannia pub crawls were all about. His wife, kids and Brid were really appreciative of the efforts I made to be there and passed along their best regards to all of you. We did our bit!
