Welcome to Paddy's Memorial Website and thank you for visiting. This is a space to remember Paddy with humour and fun. He was born at Knockrome, Isle of Jura in 1961. With his coming Paddy brought great joy to all the family - we loved him dearly, spoiled him and took him everywhere with us. He died 15th May 2007 and with his going he brought the greatest of sadness to all of us and we miss him every day. He loved his friends Andrew MacLean, Sheena Keith, Gordon Keith who he went to school with. They were faithful friends throughout his life and he valued them greatly. His friends Ian Keith and Duncan Buie were also great buddies to Paddy and he was contented in their company especially in the pub where they spent many hours in quiet companionship particularly in the winter when Jura became quieter. Paddy was also friends with the Rozga boys who all play musical instruments - Paddy played the banjo and the mandolin and accompanied them, with Martin and the other Jura musicians, at sessions in the pub with 'Murphys on Tap'. Paddy loved his music - he had varied tastes and everyone sent him or gave him CDs. On the day he died he told Ross that he wanted them to learn 'Fields of Gold' by Sting so that they could play it in the pub at the weekend: it was playing on the radio in his van when he stopped at the shop and spoke to Ross before going in to collect his paper on the 15th. Here is a website to remember Paddy with joy and to share the fun he brought to our lives. Paddy was quiet but he had an amazing presence. He did not harbour designs for the material and lived a life of simplicity. He had very little money and after he died we discovered that, of the little he had, he was sending some of it to charities! He also loved doing crossword puzzles and always had his dictionary to hand. He enjoyed solitude but also the companionship he and others shared in the Jura Hotel, which is a place of welcome. If you have something you want to share with everyone about Paddy send it via the 'Contact' page.

"It's with fond memory when I think of Paddy, it's a sad loss. I will always
remember the times we would sit in our house at Knockrome - if my light
was on at 1 o'clock in the night maybe Paddy would arrive, a bag of prawns
or clams, we would have a wee dram and a bit of a fry up and talk the
night away. Sadly missed but never forgotten, I will raise a wee glass to him."

Paddy is interred at Kilearnadil and this Blessing gives a flavour of the resting place:
On Passing A Graveyard
by John O'Donohue
May perpetual light shine upon
The faces of all who rest here.
May the lives they lived
Unfold further in spirit.
May all their past travail
Find ease in the kindness of clay
May the remembering earth
Mind every memory they brought.
May the rains from the heavens
Fall gently upon them.
May the wildflowers and grasses
Whisper their wishes into light.
May we reverence the village of presence
In the stillness of this silent field.
From Benedictus by John O’Donohue
