Paddy was a lovely man. He made the rip-n-reads fun, which is saying something. God bless him.

A lovely man, indeed. May he RIP.  He was very kind to me when I entered the hectic newsroom in 1984 from a rather sleepy local radio station - and someone I was able to approach for help - as was a dear lady called Dot. If only the whole world was full of such kind, considerate people who retained humour in the sense of adversity.
