We, the family of the late Tony wish to extend our deep gratitude and sincere thanks to everyone who offered condolences, prayers and support following our recent bereavement.

Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors, especially Pat for the dignified and professional manner in which the funeral and all arrangements were carried out. 

Our thanks to those who attended the wake, sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, flowers, expressed their condolences with messages on line or via social media, to those who lined the funeral route, and all who joined us for the beautiful requiem Mass in Fintona. 

A special word of thanks to Father Sean Mulligan for his spiritual guidance, words of comfort and for celebrating the very comforting Requiem Mass.

Thanks to Louise Coyle for the beautiful music and hymns which added so much warmth to Tony’s requiem Mass. Thank you to all who participated in the Mass, especially the readers and gift bearers and the Eucharistic Minister. 

Thanks to Donohue Funeral Home, Philadelphia, for their dignified arrangements. 

A special word of thanks to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust for their efforts, assistance and guidance in having Tony’s remains brought home to Ireland. We are also very grateful to those who kindly donated to the Kevin Bell Trust. 

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a gesture of our Family’s deepest gratitude to all those who supported Tony and who helped in any way during the wake and funeral.

May Tony’s kind and gentle soul be granted peace and eternal rest.

Tony’s Month Mind Mass will be in St Lawrence’s Church, Fintona on Saturday 21st March 2026 at 6pm
