Funeral Information
The Family would appreciate if you could leave a message to be put into a book of condolences for the family.
It is with great regret that I learned today of the death of Hugh. All of us in Palmerstown and beyond owe Hugh a huge debt for his commitment to our heritage and environment. I will miss his wisdom and dedication. To Nuala and his family we extend our sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Hugh will be sorely missed. May his huge soul rest in peace.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of our Daideo and terribly upset that I can’t be there to celebrate his life with my family. My heart aches for Mamó, my Mam, my aunts & uncles and the rest of the family. I was fortunate enough to see him when I was home from Canada in January. As I hugged him goodbye, for what would be the last time, he told me to “Enjoy Life”. He was full of stories, quick jokes and a passion for history. I still laugh at the silly jokes; “I’m hungry,” “Hello hungry, I’m Hugh.”
I hope he is at peace as we celebrate his life on Friday. Slán go fóill Daideo. Grá, Fiona
