Among the many messages of condolence, one sympathiser described him as “the most knowledgeable and passionate breeder I ever had the pleasure of knowing”.

He will be greatly missed by his sisters Mary, Sr. Helen, Terry, Carmel, Barbara and Joan, brothers Joe, Gerry, Dominic, Kenny and David, nephews, nieces, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncle, cousins, relatives, neighbours and his many friends, especially his best friend Martin Lavin.
