Dear Eileen, David, Sam, Mary, Kathleen, P.J. and families,
My deepest condolences to you all on the passing of a wonderful husband, Dad, Grandad, brother and family counselor to each and every member of the Connolly family from the Weir Road down through the years.
As a young fella, on my first trip to London back in the Sixties, Jarlath was waiting for me in the Hibernian in Fulham. He brought me into the King’s Head next door, introduced me to everybody and has been my best friend ever since.
We never had a bad day together. He was this gentle, witty and unassuming guy that everyone wanted to have as their buddy. He was unique as an Irishman in the fact that everybody liked him and wanted to be in his company.
I could write a book about the funny things that happened to us down through the years. But now I will savor and smile when I remember each episode and cherish them because I was the fortunate man to have a friend like Jarlath.
Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

My Dear Brother in Law Jarlath,
It broke my heart to lose you but I knew you couldn’t stay.
You meant so much to me. You have always been so helpful & kind to me, especially helping to cut the grass & keep the garden tidy. It’s just one of the many things you have done for me over the years.
You have been an incredible husband to my sister, but now we know your suffering is over may you rest in peace.
Love always Winnie
To my Darling Husband Jarlath,
A golden heart has stopped beating.
It broke my heart to lose you. I will be so lost without you, but I didn’t want to see you suffer anymore. May you now rest in perfect peace.
I will forever treasure the many happy times that we spent together.
You were always there for me in good times & when I needed you most.
Your loving Wife

Uncle Ja,
You are going to be missed beyond measures. You were the sweetest, loving, caring and we could talk to you about anything and everything. You, dad and uncle Peter are together catching up! We will miss you and you are so loved.
Jarlath
Your visits to Tuam will be greatly missed. The spins in the car when we were small. Reminding us to bless ourselves passing churches but not every church…Putting up with me and my friends on visits to rugby matches. We will all miss your sincere interest in our kids and the pride you felt in everything Irish. The stories and links to the past retold. Most of all we will remember and miss your beautiful smile, love always, Ian, Sinéad, Alex, Eóin and Molly Fitzpatrick, Tuam x
