Sorry that shoulda said ‘batter’ of joints not better, it’s ok Spats’ll know what i mean – iano
Kevin ‘Spats’ Connolly was one of my friends growing up in Dundalk. He was one of the most recent lads I knew. He was the kinda fella who would do anything for you if he could. He was someone you always had a good time when we were hang about together and we always partied like it might be our last chance as you did when you were kids. He used to be a big mate with the late Fintan Hopper, what a double act they were. In his memory I’m gonna get. Some of his mates here in Dundalk crack open a couple of beers, skin up a better of joints and wish him every happiness in his new life, love you Spats xxxx
