Words can't peoperly express how much I loved and will miss my Uncle Paddy. I'll never forget his laugh, his dilike for cats, how he would play the juice harp in his recliner chair and his great sense of humor. Love and deepest sympathy to my cousins and Aunty Jannie XO

Dear Janice and Family,
We were saddened to hear of Paddy's passing! We will miss our little chats standing in the middle of the road outside of our homes. You could always count on Paddy for a smile and a laugh. Our condolences to all of you.

We lived across the street from the O'Brien's in the 40's and 50's.  I remember their parents, Jim and Peggy.  They had a horse.  I have a picture taken of Judy and I in the backyard of their parents home on Capilano.   What alot of memories.

And what a life - children, grandchildren, great grandchildren.... Paddy was blessed.  My condolences to the family.  Lucidea (Poran) Moore

P.S.  Mike was always 'trouble'!!

To Terry, Tom;
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your dad. 
I enjoyed working with the two of you over the years on the railway. Your professionalism, good character and many other positive traits are no doubt legacies from your dad. Thank you.
Please extend our condolences to your mother, and your families.

Hey Paddy.... miss you and hope you are having one of those famous 151 proof rums with coke slushie.... those were the days old Friend.... those were the days.... rest in peace.....

Great working with Paddy at Ranger. I'll always miss that sense of humour and respect his work ethic. RIP R14.

I used to live at the top of the Big Cut in North Van.We could always tell when Paddy was coming up the Cut.with a heavy load by the way he picked up the gears in the Hayes.We often ran into each other at the NV Rec Hockey practices .Watch over those new comers on the road.

We will miss your smiling happy face and all the laughs, across the fence through the tomatoes!!!

Will miss his laughter and his smile.  Thinking of all of his family.
RIP Uncle Paddy
