From Turlough: “Attached is a photo of a terrace of flats on Skillman Avenue in Woodside where they all lived independently in various houses and apartments in the same terrace over time. Paddy and his family moved not too far away in the same area. Phil and his wife Isa left there when they bought a tavern upstate New York and then retired back to Ireland in the early 80s. Leila died there as did Nora, Michael's widow. They remained lifelong residents.”
