Galway: A well-loved businessman from the Galway-Mayo border has passed away, leaving a big hole in the hearts of many. Pat Loughlin, who was a granddad to two GAA players, died at home surrounded by his family.
Pat was a familiar face in the south Mayo and Galway area. He spent over 56 years with his wife, Kathleen, and was known for his kindness and generosity. He was a real pillar of the community.
With six kids and twenty-two grandkids, Pat was a family man through and through. His granddaughters, Danielle and Chloe, play for the Sylane Camogie team, and the club shared their heartfelt condolences on social media.
People from both counties have been sharing their memories of Pat. Many remember him as a welcoming figure who always had time for others. His kindness and dedication to the community made a lasting impact.
Pat was not just a businessman; he was a loving husband and a great dad. His passing is felt deeply by all who knew him, and he will be missed dearly.
