The late Paddy Coyle
The death has taken place of Paddy Coyle, the former headmaster of Yellow Furze national school.
Paddy was the father of Meath football stars Colm and Padraig Coyle.
A native of Gweedore, Paddy was an outstanding footballer in his younger days and with his brother represented Donegal.
On moving to teach in Kentstown and later Yellow Furze, Paddy became active in the energizing Seneschalstown club and especially at underage level.
He had a huge influence on the footballing careers of his sons. Colm, of course, went on to capture three All-Ireland medals amongst a host of other achievements, both in a playing and managerial capacity.
Padraig of the sweet left foot also represented his county with pride and is one of the top officials on the refereeing circuit at the moment.
Sadly Paddy was predeceased by his wife Mary, a native of Clare, in 2009 and will be very sadly missed by his sons Colm & Padraig, daughters Stella, Margaret, Nuala & Grainne.
