Pat, a.k.a. Aidan, a.k.a. Freddy will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Anna; his daughters Maureen (David), Helen (Jordan), Patricia (Ariel); and his 10 grandchildren Grace, Claire, Danny, Conor, Lucy, Ian, Thomas, Eileen, Joshua, and Alice.
He is also survived by his sister, Margaret; his nieces Kathy (Rob), Mary (John); and his nephew Tommy (Christine).
Pat was born in County Clare, Ireland, a country he loved with all his heart and he worked to pass that love onto his children by keeping up all the traditions of his homeland. He loved Irish music and could be found most Sundays sitting on the couch, tapping his feet to the Irish program on the radio after Mass.
He held many jobs over his life, but most enjoyed his work with the NYC MTA as a train operator. Pat also worked tirelessly trying to help those struggling with addiction. He was a fiercely faithful man who found comfort and strength from the Lord throughout his life.
Pat enjoyed the simple things in life: a long walk, a good joke, and a fine cuppa tea. His genuine kindness and sense of humor will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital would be appreciated.
