A Tribute to Humphrey Hickey by Brian O’Leary
A Tribute to Humphrey Hickey
by Brian O’Leary
Oct 4th with a spin up town,
I heard the awful news,
I could not believe my ears,
It’s like I didn’t have a clue.
To my local I did go
for my usaul 3 or 4,
Couldn’t even concentrate,
The news shocked me to my core.
Met a friend out the back,
I straight out asked him was it true?
With a saddened face and tearful eyes,
He couldn’t believe it too.
Humphrey was a gentleman
And always had the craic,
Followed every sport,
A proud Cork man that’s a fact.
From New York to the
Boeing,
And Duhallow to the Stráid.
Humphrey was a brilliant man,
and deeply loved by all.
He always gave a helping hand,
Be it Christmas lights or GAA,
All local clubs around the place,
Especially on athletics day.
The stories of Humf,
will go on forever more.
Inside Heaven with a cheeky smile,
He’d say “now barrs, ceart go leor”!

Joshua O’Sullivan: Raising Funds for Little Princess Trust
My name is Joshua O’Sullivan, and for the past five years, I have been growing my hair for children in need, a journey that began during the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am hoping to cut and donate over 13 inches of hair to The Little Princess Trust on the 2nd November 2024.
When the world went into lockdown, everything changed. In the face of so much uncertainty and hardship, I felt compelled to do something meaningful, something that could help others during such a difficult time. I began reflecting on the struggles faced by children who, due to illness or medical conditions, lose their hair and don’t fully understand why they look different from their peers. The thought of a child looking in the mirror, confused as to why they can’t have hair like their friends, touched me deeply. This became my motivation to help.
My journey started back in Transition Year of secondary school. It began with a simple buzz haircut, a haircut I have worn for many years, but it is something I never could have predicted would turn into such a significant endeavor. As the months turned into years, I remained committed to this cause, determined to make a tangible difference in the lives of children who might benefit from my hair donation. Over the years, my hair has grown to over 13 inches in length, now kept in a low ponytail, a symbol of my dedication to this mission.

Martin Goggin – Acknowledgement & First Anniversary
MARTIN GOGGIN
Lackabawn, Millstreet & COPE Foundation, Mallow
Died 27th September 2023
Acknowledgement & First Anniversary
As we lovingly remember Martin on his first anniversary, we, his family would like to thank extended family, neighbours and friends who have supported us over the last 12 months as we come to terms with the passing of our beloved Martin. We would like to thank everyone who
telephoned and called to the house. We acknowledge the many lovely tributes and messages of condolence placed on RIP.ie. We remember with gratitude those who stood in respectful silence on route as Martin’s cortege travelled from home to the church, those who attended
the funeral services and sent Mass cards and letters of sympathy. We are also very grateful to those who would have liked to attend but could not and remembered us in their thoughts and prayers.
Thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of Cork University Hospital who looked after Martin with such care during his time there. A very special thank you to all the staff at COPE Mallow and to Dr Bertie Daly and the staff of Áth Trasna Medical Centre, Newmarket for the
incredible commitment, kindness, compassion and care shown to Martin during his life and especially in his final weeks. Their combined efforts, along with the palliative care team from Marymount Hospice, allowed us to bring him home to Mallow to be with his family and friends before his passing which meant so much to us. Thank you to Frank, Mairéad and the staff of Reen’s Pharmacy, who were always so accommodating.
We would like to thank Canon John Fitzgerald for a very heartfelt and sincere funeral Mass. Thanks to Fr Anthony Sheehan, Mallow, for administering the last rites to Martin and concelebrating the funeral Mass with Canon John. Thanks to Sharon Lane for her help and
guidance in planning the Mass and for the lovely Mass booklets, and to Julie Brady for her kindness and assistance.
Thanks to all involved in providing the beautiful music at the church: Ciara Guerin, Bláithín and Denise Kennedy, Eddie Kiely, and Martin’s niece and nephew Miriam and Tadgh. Thanks to
Marie Twomey for playing the bagpipes to lead Martin to his final resting place, and to Matt Lawlee for singing one of Martin’s favourite songs at his graveside.
We would like to thank Davy Tarrant, Timmy Twomey and Cora O’Riordan of Tarrant’s Funeral Directors, Millstreet for their professionalism and kindness.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our deepest gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
Martin’s Anniversary Mass will take place on Friday 27th September at 7.30pm in St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet.
When a light is as bright as the light you shone
There’s no such thing as truly gone.
When a smile is as precious as the one you wore,
You will live in our hearts forever more.
May Martin Rest in Eternal Peace.
