"Today is the anniversary of my father's birthday who died in 1991, aged 75 years. Of all the things that I could say to his credit, including the fact that he played international soccer for Ireland, none come to mind more readily than the fact that he was a good man of humble mannerisms, Christian beliefs and simple ways; always a man who did whatever he did in his life to the best of his capabilities. No more can one expect of any man. The day that dad was born, he brought with him spring. I love you Dad. God Bless you. xxx" William Forde: March 21st, 2013.
