Patrick McGarry (13 Sep 1955 - 9 Jun 2024)

Paddy our friendship was a special one, I miss you, our phone calls and breakfast dates. You will always have a place in my heart and I'll love you always and forever xx

Th word can't afford to lose people of your calibre mate.Im so glad you got to see your rose arch in full bloom this summer and I will think of you fondly up there in The Lords garden pottering away without knowing the names of any of the plants!
Sleep tight you old rascal xx

Ah Paddy! How we miss you! When you first came to the Bulls Well you didn’t speak to anyone - quietly got your pint and sat and played patience…. Then out of the blue this enormous character erupted!!! Your daft sayings, cheeky smile, kind and generous nature - supplying all with late night Tesco reductions and flowers for all the ladies in the pub!! You made us laugh so many times, we have a seemingly endless supply of anecdotes; getting locked in the toilet, the whale noise yawns, seemingly completely deaf except when it suited you, and a frankly hilarious disregard for our opening hours - you came in whenever you felt like it, regardless of the gate being locked or not - but we loved you so we didn’t mind! Quite honestly you drove me to distraction with your “woman! I’ll have another”, yelled from your seat at the other end of the pub, and don’t get me started on the trying to pay with your club card!!!! I could have throttled you so many times, but now, what I wouldn’t give for you to pull that trick one more time!!! You have earned yourself pub legend status - everybody loved you and we have a big gap that can’t be replaced. Rest easy my friend. Love you xxx

It has been a privilege and an honour working with you Paddy, Tesco have lost one of the best.

You were the most stubborn man I ever met yet I know you had the biggest heart to hold everyone you loved.

Hopefully you'll win the lottery now and stop blaming me because you picked rubbish numbers!

Will miss you 'flower' 🌸
