Our deepest condolences on PJ’s passing. May he rest in peace.
Deepest sympathy to all the family on the death of P.J. A kind soul and a gentleman. From Martha and Sean Allen.
Sincere sympathies to the Gillespie family. PJ was a tremendously courageous man. Despite his illness he walked and jogged at least twice a day on the running track at Belleek and also in the wood, in all kinds of weather. May he rest in peace
Peter and Teresa Murphy.
