Remembering Dave Badrick of West Yorkshire

We extend our sincere sympathy to Joanie (Hannah) Badrick (née Lehane) formerly of Minor Row, Millstreet on the sad departure of her beloved husband, Dave.   Heartfelt sympathy also to Joanie’s daughters and extended Family.  Joanie and Dave with their Family lived in the Isle of Man for many years and later at Todmorden in West Yorkshire, England.   Dave – always a True Gentleman – greatly endeared himself to so many in the Millstreet area and beyond when he and Joanie with their Family visited Millstreet on many occasions over the years.   We recall his wonderful wit, humour and superbly happy disposition.  It is clear that Dave enriched the lives of All.  God rest his gentle Soul.  Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.  (We thank Joanie’s brother – Jerry Lehane of Ballydaly – for sharing the news and photograph….S.R.)
