Brian Reynolds, 47, was also remembered for his storytelling which always finished with him laughing - and everyone else around him laughing as well.
The funeral of a businessman who died on Christmas Eve following a horror hammer attack has heard he was “the salt of the earth, a generous man who was well liked and always joking with people.”
Brian, who had previously run a small shop from a building at the rear of his three-bed property, also worked as a courier over the years, his funeral Mass at Holy Family Church in Ballsgrove heard today. “He was always helping other people too. If anyone passed away he was one of the first people at the house with a bag of shopping for the bereaved. He was a very good person to so many people,” said Fr Kennedy.
“Larry went for a pint in a local pub and saw two young lads in school uniforms which turned out to be Brian and a pal playing video games,” said Fr Kennedy.READ MORE: Gardai issue update on Christmas Eve death of man after horror ‘hammer attack’ in Drogheda
