IMPORTANT NOTICES:

Tommy Front.jpg

Tommy Moffit  has passed away!

Tommy was classy, respected, shunned the limelight, was a great example for all of us to follow, kind, caring, had a great sense of humor, and loved by all.   If you look up the word gentleman in the dictionary, they should remove the text and just put Tommy’s photo there.           

Tommy’s wife Peggy passed away in 1978, 32 years without her, yet never a complaint.   Tommy’s heart was as big as the Irish Center.  Today, there is a huge hole in the heart of the Irish community, but memories of our own hero, will help us all continue and keep the tradition alive. 

To Tommy’s family, thank you for sharing Tommy with all of us.   You are each, one of our own, and there is no way we are going to let you go through this journey without us.   You are just going to need to send out a lot more Christmas Cards!

To Tommy, no more walker, no more wheelchair, no more arthritis in your fingers, no more nursing home, no more pain.   Play that box and smile away, our loss is heavens gain!  From now on, whenever we have a major event in the Irish Community, we will have a Box sitting on an empty chair in memory of Tommy.

Tommy no one here wants to say goodbye, no one!   So we will just say God Bless, and we’ll see you later. 

And I have one final message for Peggy and all our friends and relatives up in heaven.   Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sweetest music this side of Roscommon, from your ETERNAL host, the legendary Mr. TOMMY MOFFIT!

Rest in Peace Tommy, Rest in Peace!

Help Save the Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Parade

  

Please Contact Philadelphia City Council and Mayor Nutter and tell them we need funding for our Irish Parade on March 14, 2010 or it will go the way of the other lost events and revenue in Philadelphia.   We have been marching since 1771.       This will be our 240th year and we intend to continue this relationship for many more years.  

Please be respectful and positive, but strong and effective with your comments.   Please contact each member of City Council, you can copy all of them in your "EMAIL TO:" line and send one email to all at once and I will have a copy for our records .

James P. Kilgallen, Jr.

Born in Philadelphia , Pa. on Mar. 17, 1931
Departed on Feb. 27, 2010 and resided in HavertownPA.

 

 One of the true giants in the Philadelphia Irish Community, and my close friend, Jim Kilgallen passed away Saturday February 27, 2010.   He was a member of AOH 65 Joseph E. Montgomery Division, St Thomas More Alumni Association, Mayo Association, founder of the Irish of Havertown, and the unofficial “Mayor” of Havertown.   He has way too many awards to be listed, but his induction in 2004 to the Delaware Valley Irish Hall of Fame stands out right in the front of all of them!  


Jim was a very important, influential and respected member of the St. Patrick’s Day Observance Association, and served as our President in 1999 and 2000.  He was elected Grand Marshal of the Philadelphia St Patrick’s Day Parade in 2004.  He was our Parade TV color person on CBS3, and boy was he colorful!   We will keep Peggy and his children Jim, Maureen, Kevin, and Theresa and their families in our prayer
