Arrangements for the Hooley of Francis Xavier Mullen
Monday 30th November 2015 from 1.00pm
In accordance with Frank’s wishes, his family have arranged for his cremation to take place in private.
But it wouldn’t be right to let Frank go without a big hooley.
If it was anyone else’s funeral, this is where Frank would have been. So in keeping with his own custom Frank’s ashes will be arriving in style at Highbury Hall and will preside over your farewells from their rightful place – the bar.
The hooley starts at 1pm and as you’d expect will involve plenty of beer, gin, food and music. Whilst it won’t be a traditional funeral service there will of course be a few words spoken to send Frank on his way. Make sure you come ready to share your own thoughts and memories about Frank too.
Please feel free to post any messages for Frank’s family at the bottom of this webpage.
All our Condolences to all of the family , and sending you all of our love and blessings for now and in the coming months, but frank we are delighted that you are having a hooley and are taking your rightful place at the bar, may you enjoy your celebration of life day and may you continue to rock and party in the beyond, sorry we cant be with you today but you can rest assured ( pardon the pun ) that we will be toasting your memory here in dublin….cheers frank…bottoms up ….with love and best wishes to send you on your way from your brother in law derek , and mary and family.

LOVE SANDRA-
we send our deepest condolences to Betty, Anna, Fiona, Elizabeth and their families. i would have wished to spend more time with my brother but we were separated for so long by circumstance and geography. It meant that the time we did get to share was all the more special. He will be missed by me and all those in our family that were fortunate enough to know him
Thank you all for your beautiful messages of support. They mean a great deal to us all. Da would have been delighted to know he had his own web page. to know that you all thought enough of him to take the time to share your support would make him raise that wonderfully cheeky smile of his. Sure he’d be refreshing the page evry two seconds… So, We’re sending him off on his way in the manner in which he wanted. Mrs Brown would be jealous! and whilst he is dearly and truly missed, we know he’ll be with us on the 30th to share and enjoy the celebration of his life. Much love to you all, Fiona.
Deepest symapthies and sincere condolences to all the family. God bless him and keep him, and may there be plenty of whiskey whereever he may be. Propping up the bar in heaven, making sure they two drinks, one for each hand, one would never do!!! Love and Best wishes to betty, anna, fiona and lizzie and all the grandkids. He will be sorely missed. Tx
Well there you are Da you are a real celebrity now with your own web page!
As Fiona said You’re probably checking it out to see how many messages you have!!
Isn’t it grand to have a bit of celebrity status, you are just like Irish ROYALTY.
Thank you to everyone for Your kind wishes and to all those who may be Considering Posting a message for Da : think what Mrs Doyle would say:
“Go on, go on, go on, go on”
Big love and ‘Slainte’ to Frank our Da.
Much love always Annaxxxxx
With our deepest sympathy to betty, anna, fiona, lizzie and their respective families.
We, in turn, raise a cooper family glass to toast the memory of frank into all our futures.
