Especially to Barry Hughes and his family and Paddy Mone and his family who helped organise the practicalities around the house, we thank you.
We want to thank all Gary’s friends and work colleagues from GMC Utilities Dublin who travelled up to the house and helped out.

To all the kitchen and club staff in Madden Club who provided refreshments after the burial.
To Gary’s friends and work colleagues in D Murphy Contracts who came together and worked so diligently and thoughtfully to prepare Gary’s final resting place. This gesture meant so much to us and we thank you most sincerely.
We would like to send our deep appreciation to Keady Rapid Response Team and the NI Ambulance and Transfer Team who attended Gary in his home. Your compassion and professionalism will be forever in our hearts.

To Damian Smith Undertaker who provided our family with compassion and professionalism throughout this time.
Finally, a special thank you to Laura McGuiness, Gary’s life long friend, who was instrumental in organising Robert Mizzell to sing at Gary’s funeral mass. This was the most fitting and poignant tribute to Gary and we will be forever grateful Laura.
