PATRICK (PADDY) GREENAN

Born - 15th August 1897  in Lurgan Green, Dundalk, Co. Louth.

Profession - Motor mechanic.
Originally worked in a garage  in Monaghan (where he lost the top of his first  three fingers of his right hand in an accident). Later  he moved to Belfast working in the Harland &  Wolfe shipyard. During the first World War himself  and Jimmy went to Newcastle-upon-Tyne to work on submarine engines. After the war both returned  to Belfast and joined Ned in the Patton St  garage. They also set up a bus touring company which   ran "charabanc" week-end trips, converting  week-day lorries into excursion buses for people in the Falls  Road area.

Paddy was very quite, although became a  bit more chatty when he was on his own and had a couple of drinks. He was very devoted to his  mother and often on a Sunday, after a late mass and a  drink down the pub would take her out for a drive.  Fond of the horses like the rest of the brothers.

Died - 9th November 1986 at Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, while living at 12 Springfield  Rd, Belfast.
Buried - Milltown Cemetery,  Belfast.
