Dear Pat and all your family
We were so sorry to hear about Kerry... the years have passed and we haven´t seen much of you but there was that lovely time when we were all young together and anything seemed possible...we remember some happy days when we were all engaged and then married. Terry and I have fond memories of Kerry. Thinking of you all.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Kerry, and my condolences to his family. Kerry was a true gentleman and all round nice guy. He was the eptiomy of a St Peters man. His efforts on behalf of the St Peters College Old Boys Association are fondly remembered. He will be missed.

QUIRKE, Kerry. Most loved and loyal friend to Colleen, Michael, Lilla, Mary, Gen and Thom O'Halloran. The long summer days at Takapuna Beach, the fireworks nights in Cornwall Park, the after-match at Jesmond Terrace. You are woven into the tapestry of our lives. Of all the money that e'er I had I have spent it in good company
