      <image:title>Home - TRIBUTES TO PADRAIG MAYE (R.I.P.)</image:title>
      <image:caption>On January 31st 2021, we lost our dear friend and history comrade Padraig Maye RIP. The shock of his untimely death left us, his family and the entire community in a state of shock. He was integral part of this community, an irreplaceable husband, Dad, Papa and Great Grandad to his family. In our group he was our friend and colleague who shared with us a love of our parish and our local history.   Due to the Covid-19 restrictions we were all prohibited from affording him the send- off he so richly deserved. In the days and weeks following his death many tributes were paid to him. We would like to share, here with you some of those tributes, they will give to those who didn’t know Padraig a little insight into the wonderful man that was Padraig Maye.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Padraig Maye - WESTERN PEOPLE ARTICLE</image:title>
      <image:caption>This piece was written by Padraig’s grand-daughter Alana Loftus.  Of all the things Covid-19 has stolen from us this past year, the worst has been the opportunity to give our grandfather Padraig Maye, the send off that he so richly deserved. A man as magnificent as he was, deserves to have his memory honoured. To many he was Padraig, Mr. Maye the teacher, a sporting competitor or a friendly neighbour who always wore a smile, but to me, his seven other grandchildren, and his great-granddaughter, he was “papa”.  As a child, growing up with an American influence in my family, some words I used did not match those of my classmates. They found the term “Papa” particularly funny, and I spent years making sure I called him ‘Grandad’ in front of them. However, as I got older, I grew to love the fact that his name was unique, as it reflected how special he was. Our “Papa”, Padraig Maye was born in Aclare, Co. Sligo, on May day 1940. He grew up a lover of sports and will perhaps be best remembered for his athletic achievements. He became involved in athletics in his school days and won an All Ireland title, with St. Nathy’s College, Ballaghadereen, for the Hogan cup 1957, as one of only two 3rd year students on the team, something he would often, proudly remind us of. That all Ireland medal, turned out to be the first of many; 170 to be exact, that he collected through the years, from a series of different athletics events. He competed through Ballina Athletics Club, which he was a proud member of. He also held 31 British athletics medals, 48 Ulster Championships and 71 cups for athletics football and handball.  Needless to say, Padraig kept his love of sport alive, long after his school days. His adventurous spirit not only encouraged him to try different sports, but to seek adventure around the globe. His many addresses include Dublin, London, Nigeria and Chicago. In 1966 he went to Chicago for a 2 week holiday, and ended up meeting Terry, my nana, and settling there until 1980, when they returned home to Aclare with their two daughters Coleen (my mom) and Erin.  After returning home, Padraig was a teacher at Banada Abbey secondary school, and later at St. Attracta’s Community School. He taught History, Geography and English, which he had a particular fondness for. He passed his library of books onto us as we grew up, instilling in us a hunger for knowledge, and a love for reading. In recent years, Padraig was working on a series of books about local history, in the parish of Kilmactigue, alongside two other local historians, Danny Jones and Marie Fleming. Padraig put great time and effort into compiling the stories and facts he had kept for years. Volume three was due to be released this summer. His memory was sharp as a pin, and he could rhyme off dates and figures from 70 years ago like he had learned them yesterday. Most local people would recall that wherever you saw Padraig, you also saw his video camera. He has collected hundreds of tapes of footage throughout the years, all of which he treasured dearly. Shortly before he passed, I was helping him organise the footage, though we never got very far because we would stop to watch all the tapes.  Though the list of his achievements in life is never ending, one would seldom hear him brag of his successes. His love was for sport, not winning, which explains why he was still competing right up until 2020, at almost 80 years of age. He was however, particularly excited to be entering the ‘Over 80’s’ age bracket, as he would only ever have 2 or 3 competitors in each event, ensuring that he almost always walked away with a gold, silver or bronze. Padraig preferred the simple pleasures of life, and he cared about the little things. He tried to instil these values in his children and grandchildren, and taught us of the importance of kindness, patience and gratitude.  Saying goodbye to a grandparent is never easy, and with the current Covid 19 restrictions we were only allowed to say our goodbyes to him through a window. We sang him to sleep on Sunday, January 31st, with two guitars and 8 voices singing his favourite song ‘The Isle of Innisfree’. Words cannot describe how much we will miss him, and we know there are many people who will share in our grief. I feel blessed to have known him, and to have had him as part of my life, and I take comfort in knowing that if the world had more people like Padraig Maye, it would be a peaceful place.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - TRIBUTES TO PADRAIG MAYE (R.I.P.)</image:title>
      <image:caption>On January 31st 2021, we lost our dear friend and history comrade Padraig Maye RIP. The shock of his untimely death left us, his family and the entire community in a state of shock. He was integral part of this community, an irreplaceable husband, Dad, Papa and Great Grandad to his family. In our group he was our friend and colleague who shared with us a love of our parish and our local history.   Due to the Covid-19 restrictions we were all prohibited from affording him the send- off he so richly deserved. In the days and weeks following his death many tributes were paid to him. We would like to share, here with you some of those tributes, they will give to those who didn’t know Padraig a little insight into the wonderful man that was Padraig Maye.</image:caption>
