Thomas Joseph (Joe) Colgan

Marcus NabiA friend

<p>Joe was a saviour to myself and my brothers and sister, a Godsend when we were children. <br> He was kind , gentle, caring and understanding, with a wonderful sense of humour.<br> He took us every summer to his home to stay in the Spa Hotel in Lucan, driving up from Dublin then driving back down with a car load of Northern Irish children, not an easy thing to accomplish.<br> We were all children of the 70s troubles living the nightmare that was our every day lives, and he took us away from all of that for a short time each summer and showed us what we could have, that there was a life outside of the chaos that we lived in. For this, and his friendship i will be truly grateful and forever indebted to him and his wonderful family, his brothers, sister and his mother and father all of whom made us feel truly special. <br> I regret not having had the opportunity to meet with him one last time to thank him for everything he did for me, but i think he probably knows this now.<br> Heres to Joe Colgan, a true gentleman.</p> Marcus
