The Paddy Cycle

Tomorrow will mark the date of one of the best days the parish has seen in many years, in memory of a great man. One of his life long friends, Paschal Malone, penned this fitting tribute to Paddy. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to such a successful day, to be remembered for many a year.

Wednesday morning brought a disbelief and sadness to us all here and around the parish of Balyna as news emerged of the passing of our dear friend Tomasz Bryla.

First and foremost Tomasz was a loving husband and father , a real family man. He joined the Paddy Cycle when Teams were being sought and it quickly became apparant that the Polish native was a real leader.

One of life's gentlemen, he loved to cycle long distances and on the day of our cycle he showed his class by staying behind to encourage others and making sure everyone got across the many road junctions safely.

To his wife Ewa , children Antos and Ola ,his parents Marianna and Henryk ,brother Pawel ,sisters Agata and Anna ,extended family and many many friends we offer our heartfelt sympathies .

May his gentle soul rest in peace
