    Steve,
    I saw today Tim MacDonald’s post on Facebook about the loss of your Dad. I can’t think of a single negative memory related to your Dad. He was a devoted husband, loved his kids and community. A true giver. What a great man and always treated Dad and I with great thoughtfulness and inclusion. That sentiment is also equally true of your Mum. I am so sorry. You, Robert and Holly and all your grandkids are in Lynnette’s and my thoughts and prayers. Your Dad will be truly missed.
    Love
    Tom

    I was sadden to hear of Bob’s passing,
    Bob and Ruth, lived beside me,
    And were both, good neighbours and special friends.
    I always knew I could rely on them if needed, and I did.
    They both played a big part in the Church and Community.
    Even though, we will miss him greatly, Bob and Ruth lived
    For each other, and I am comforted to know, not only is he
    With his Saviour, but with the love of his life, his beloved Ruth.
    Rest in a well deserved Peace, my friends ….❤️…Ballymote, Milton
