The late Patrick James McGivern was a great community worker, which was evident in the fact that he helped prepare The Dolmen Centre for a confirmation reception on the morning of his sudden death. A fine family man and neighbour, who worked all his life as a farmer, PJ was involved in many sports and organisations, including Cooley Kickhams GFC. He got wrapped up with the club at juvenile level when his son PJ started playing and served on various committees as well as acting as kit man to the senior team. Collectively, Cooley Kickhams GFC, FAS workers, school children, Cuchulainn Gaels GFC and Omeath Youth Project formed the guard of honour at his removal. PJ's coffin was draped in a Cooley jersey, which was signed by the players.
