Fr Michael O'Leary, a priest of the Kerry diocese, died last evening.
Fr Michael, a native of Castlegregory in West Kerry, was in his 90th year. Some years ago he retired as parish priest in Moyvane and went to live in Tralee.
He was a kindly man, who had the great ability of listening to people and being with them in times of joy and tribulation.
Some years ago Fr Michael was extremely kind and helpful to me and as a result of our encounter on that occasion we kept in touch.
Last Sunday week I visited him in Kerry General Hospital where we prayed a Psalm together.
Just as we finished the prayer a woman from Moyvane came to visit him. In our brief few words she expressed how kind Fr O'Leary had been to her family while he was pp in Moyvane.
He was a priest, who genuinely cared for people and what finer tribute can be paid to a priest than to acknowledge that he was a kind man.
Fr O'Leary's requiem Mass will take place in Moyvane parish church on Thursday at midday
May he rest in peace.
