It was with great sadness I learned today of the death of my great friend Pat McHale last Monday February 12th any of you at St Columbas1959 to 1961 or thereabouts would know him he lived in France for many years and was greatly loved to my eternal regret I didn't go to see him there but I have many fond memories of days spent in the valley along the banks of the river Tweed
May God have mercy on his soul
Robert and I were at Mass in Canterbury for Pat. Thank you for arranging this, Robert and Fr Mark! 6.00 start meant that our Mass ended as the funeral began.
