Redpadraig RIP

[GerryC]

Sad news cam my way last night. Redpadraig - who posts here occasionally - passed away suddenly yesterday.
While I did not know him very well our paths crossed gloriously in Wesport some years ago.
We were both on solo bike trips & staying in adjacent establishments - I enjoyed his company over a bite & a few pints. He was one of the myriad of folk who did the Photo Rally but did not enter & that's what had him on the road. His son Yosarian also posts here - my sympathies to him & the extended family. Pat did make me smile that night - he was a good man to meet on the road - a road that has ended for him suddenly & unexpectedly. RIP.

I never met him, but always sad to hear of another Tosser/biker passing away.

My condolences to his Kith and Kin.

I seem to have arrived at a time in my life when the deaths around me seem very relevant, be they famous people or not so famous.
I think the message they would send to us is "Live your life".. no second chances, no retakes...

Sincerest condolences to friends and family of Redpadraig

I'm stunned.

One of the nicest gents I've ever met from this site. Followed, no tried to follow him through the Alps on his fully laiden bike.

Yosarian, my thoughts are with you and your family.

I'm stunned and so very sad to learn here of Pat's passing.

A big man, in stature and in personality. A friendly man, a kind man and a generous man. We enjoyed immensely meeting both him and Anne on UKGSer do's, their company and craic was always great to have and his will be sorely missed.

To Anne and Ruairi and the extended family our deepest and most sincere condolences.

The funeral arrangements for Patrick RIP:

https://rip.ie/showdn.php?dn=289911/Patrick JosephBRADLEY/Dublin

Anne and Rory would like to ask all who are attending the funeral to do so on their bikes, if possible, and to meet at their home at 10:30am on Friday morning to escort Patrick on his final journey to Glasnevin at 10:45am, as we all know Patrick loved his bikes.

Hoping to gather up a couple of folks on the way down

Try and give the big man a run down to Glasnevin

I hope to be at 5 ways filling station Newry by 08:30

A true gentleman and it was a pleasure to be in his company on many occasions.
