We’ve lost the king of our family': Funeral of Larry Gogan takes place in Dublin
HUNDREDS OF MOURNERS gathered today for the funeral mass of broadcaster Larry Gogan at the Church of St Pius X in Templeogue, Dublin.
The pair met when they were 15 and married at 21. They were married for 39 years and are survived by five children. Florrie passed away in 2002. “He loved fun. He was adored by everyone. We all knew that he was, without doubt, the greatest disc jockey we were ever likely to hear or see.” Acknowledging the recent passing other RTÉ broadcasters - such as Marian Finucan and Gay Byrne – D’Arcy asked the congregation: “Weren’t we very lucky to have lived with such greats?”
