We just received word that one of our Irish Letterhead Brothers is involved in a battle with cancer. He may not see Christmas.
Eoin Quigley is a 36 year old signmaker from Kilkenny, Ireland. Eoin and his wife Marion have 2 children. Many of you know him from meets in the UK and here in N. America.
We've had the pleasure of spending some time with Eoin. A few years back, he spent a few months working with Russ Kelly at Kelly Signs in Toronto. Russ and Eoin dropped by our home one day. Eoin was considering a move to Canada or the US at that time. He had lots of dreams for his future.
Russ Kelly is trying to get a flight from Toronto to Ireland. He's promised to keep all us informed. I know all of our prayers and thoughts are with Eoin and his Family at this time.

I work at Kelly Sign and had the pleasure to spend more than a month working side-by-side with Eoin. He is an incredible person. I am glad to have spent the time working with and getting to know Eoin. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sending prayers from Seattle. What very sad news. It makes you appreciate all the goodness that we sometimes take for granted.

Let all of us pray for him, the power of prayer has done much good. All of us have lost friends and relatives to cancer. With all the technology out there we are still at its mercy.

For those who know Eoin our prayers are with you also.
To Eoin: May the peace and love that surpass all understanding be with you now, Eoin. The Almighty Maker has a plan for us, you know. You have touched many lives and now it is time to lean on those who know you and your efforts. May your family and loved ones be specially blessed with the eternal spirit, and the sun shine upon you.

Such a young fella to be inflicted with this kind of disease, my prayers are with all his family, friends and of course with Eoin. It brings tears to my eyes and hopefully strength to all involved.
