Sad news unfolded in Waterford on Thursday as the body of a man was recovered from the water at Boatstrand following a large-scale search operation.
The man, aged in his sixties, was much-loved father of 10 and grandfather Francis (Boots) Casey, of Woodstown, Annestown, Co. Waterford.
Francis' funeral arrangements have since been announced on RIP.ie. He will be reposing at his residence (X91PK8N) this Sunday, August 17, from 2.00pm to 8.00pm, with house private outside reposing times.
Removal from his home will take place on Monday, August 18, for Requiem Mass on arrival at 12 noon to The Immaculate Conception Church, Fenor, followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery.
Family flowers only, donations, if desired, to Bonmahon Lifeboat.
Francis is predeceased by his parents Edmond and Bridget, his brother Bernard and sister-in-law Helen.
He is sorely missed by his loving wife Mary, sons Eddie, John Paul, Philip, Ray, Brendan, Peter, Colm, David, Luke and Jer, sisters Anne and Maudy, brother Michael, daughter-in-laws, grandchildren, aunt Eileen, nieces, nephews, extended family, neighbours and friends.
May he Rest in Peace.
