The passing of Sam Cole

The Diary has learned of the death of Sam (Samuel) Cole, Castlemartin, Kilcullen, on April 24th 2021, in his 86th year, after a wonderful life. Sam passed away peacefully at home, in the care of his loving family.

A darling and loving man, devoted husband of 56 years to his best friend and wife, Violet. He was cherished by his loving sons Alan and Nigel, daughters in law Sally and Lynne, grandchildren Sasha, Sophia, Pippa and Sam.

In his natural and gentle way, as was his wish, he will be laid to rest on Tuesday April 27th, his funeral to St John’s Church, Yellow Bog, Kilcullen, arriving for 2pm Service, followed by interment in the adjoining Churchyard.

He lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Donations, if desired, may be sent to St Brigid’s Hospice, The Curragh. Given the exceptional climate and to protect everyone who knew Sam, the funeral service is private for family only (25 persons). Those who would have liked to attend Sam's funeral, but due to these restrictions cannot, may leave a personal message for the family on RIP.ie. The family thank you for your co-operation, understanding and support during this sensitive time. 

“Father in thy gracious keeping leave us now, our love one’s sleeping.”
