A larger than life figure in my life. Formative in as much as his sermons were grist to my mill. He was there though and part of the family for better or for worse.

As with all big characters, there were good times and miserable times; times of love and times of hurt.

The one thing about church then was that they were like family. You didn’t get to choose them, and though the priest might have seemed to be the church, the church was always bigger than him.

Father was a man of absolute integrity if sometimes harsh. He had a dry sense of humour and was always interesting, if not always fair. He was human.
