Obituary The death of Pat (Paddy) Healy, Meenascorthy, Camp occurred on Saturday, December 10th. A dedicated Community man and a GAA man all of his life, Paddy gave over 30 years sterling service to Castlegregory and West Kerry GAA, being former Chairman of Castlegregory and honorary President of West Kerry GAA up to the time of his death, he was also trustee of the local Castlegregory GAA pitch. A Corkman himself , Paddy met and married a local Castlegregory woman Mae Rohan from Stradbally in New York returning with Mae to West Kerry in 1966 where the young couple settled easily into farming and bringing up their family in Meenascorthy, Camp. Paddy was highly respected in the farming community too and he was a great neighbour. Community and GAA guard of honour attended on both days and the American Flag, symbolic of his services to the United States draped his coffin as did the local Castlegregory GAA Jersey. The huge attendance at the removal from Lynchs Funeral Castelgregory to St.Marys Church, Castlegregory and again at the requiem Mass and burial in Killiney graveyard on Monday gave full testimony to the esteem in which Paddy was held in the local community of West Kerry and beyond.
