The death of Paddy Halpenny saw Philipstown robbed of one of its most popular members. Born in 1940, Paddy lived all his life in the local community and he contributed greatly to St Kevins GFC over the years. He served the club as treasurer and also played for the club when required, or stood in as umpire - or any other task that was required. Paddy was voted Louth Club Worker of the Year in 1982 and St Kevins Club Worker of the Year in 1996. He was also an ardent follower of the Dubs and a Dublin jersey adorned his coffin during Paddy's final journey.
