I received an email from my brother this morning informing me of the death of Kevin Hanley, at the relatively young age of 55.
I am greatly saddened by this news. Though we had not seen much of each other in recent years and there was a considerable degree of strain in our last meeting I vividly remember his visits to our house with his first wife – my cousin – Carmel, when I was young. They had travelled extensively, worked in education, liked a good argument and were great crack; a model of another kind of life.
