Patrick Massey

I would like to thank all who contributed to The Baron website their wonderful memories and tributes to Pat. It meant so much to me and our son and daughter, Bryan and Shauna, and was a great comfort. The descriptions of his smile, lope and humour really brought him to life. For me it was a reminder of just how much he had done, and for our children a realisation of what he had achieved.

We were very moved - and I think Pat would have been amazed - by the way so many of his friends held him in such high regard, for his talent, generosity in giving help, and always, of course, his humour and fund of good stories.

The last few years had not been kind to Pat, so it was good to remember him at his best.

We also had many letters - and so many from people who looked on him as a mentor, as well as a friend. We shall keep all the tributes and letters for the grandchildren, so in the future they can discover what kind of a man their grandfather had been. ■
