On the feast of St Bernadette, we learned of the sad death that morning of one of our great friends from the Irish Hospitalité and of the Waterford & Lismore pilgrimage, Eddie Roche.  Eddie died suddenly and unexpectedly in Lourdes on the morning of Wednesday, April 16, 2025.  Eddie was familiar with many who passed through Lourdes Airport as he was a constant member of the HNDL Airport teams.  And when not serving at the Airport, you would find Eddie in service on the Plateau of the Piscines / Baths.  Eddie was well known by so many and will be sadly missed, especially by his very close friend, Mary.  The death notice on RIP.ie can be viewed by clicking the link: Eddie Roche – RIP

We send our prayers, and sympathy at this time to Eddie’s family and to Mary, as they come to terms with this sudden loss.  May his good soul rest in peace.  Eddie, you have finished your service, it was time to go home.  RIP
