May your gentle soul rest in peace Martin – you were the nicest man to work with over the years, always with the quick wit and a laugh but so helpful and kind to everyone. You will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to your family and loved ones.
Lovely Martin. Such fond and fun memories of time spent together with him and Anne. I loved how he was always keen to join you on an adventure. I loved how much he loved his little sister and that he made the trip out to NZ to visit her and his nephew/niece Flynn Martin and Rosie Maeve. Feeling lucky and blessed to have known him. He was one of a kind. Sending all my love to his family, especially Anne, Geraldine, Maura, Seamus and Enda at such a difficult and sad time xxx
