Philip (Phil) O'Sullivan

Hi my name is Ian O'Connell and I am fundraising to help the family of Philip (Phil) O'Sullivan. Phil worked with my father and through the years Phil and myself built a close friendship and he was one of the kindest, soundest and genuine people you could meet. His love for Liverpool and my love for Manchester United was a topic of our messages we sent to one another on a daily basis. He would be the first on to remind me if United lost a match and visa versa if Liverpool lost a match and it's when something like this happens it puts sport into perspective.

We the friends of the late Philip O'Sullivan (Phil) are writing with the permission of Philips family, Karen, Craig, Alice and Edison. The unexpected passing of Phil on December 4th which happened in England has left the community of Killarney and the village of Firies in mourning. A dedicated family man, Phil leaves behind his heartbroken partner Karen and their three young children, Craig, Alice and Edison, facing an unimaginable loss Phil was a remarkable character whose vibrant personality left lasting impression on everyone he encountered. His infectious good humour and willingness to engage in conversation made him a cherished employee at Leane's Tool Hire, where he served as the go to guy for customers. A passionate soccer enthusiast and loyal Liverpool fan, and a big part of Firies GAA club, he dedicated many years to Killarney Celtic, coaching at various levels with unwavering kindness and compassion. Philips smile, wit and genuine care for others will forever be remembered by all who knew him.

The GoFundMe page is aimed at assisting Phil's family and all funds raised will go directly to Philips family and will go towards bringing Phil back to Ireland. in covering funeral expenses and reducing any financial burdens they will face. It hopefully will assist Karen at this difficult time so she can concentrate on supporting two children in school and college. Any donation that you can give would be most appreciated.
