... we regret to announce that our Fin passed away yesterday.  His last weeks were difficult, he fought so hard.  He had been unconscious and his breathing the last 2 days was labored.  He took his last peaceful breath at 510pm with Brendan by his side, joined quickly by Wilma and Emma. He has been reunited with his Dad and we are certain he is leading a big Celtic gathering in heaven.  

Fin touched so many lives, none more than his mom, siblings, wife, kids, and many friends.  Local arrangements in West Roxbury are as follows: Visiting hours are Wednesday March 17th from 5-8pm at Gormley Funeral Home.  The funeral is also at Gormley on Thursday March 18 at 9am followed by a Mass of Christian Burial celebrated in the Holy Name Church at 10am. There will be private arrangements in Scotland at a later time. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family would prefer supporting the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, as Fin really felt for the kids going through brain tumor diagnosis and its effects.  Fin and his family have also been big supporters of St. Jude Research Hospital.

 There is sadness and an emptiness so deeply felt already.
