Last March he had a stroke and in recent weeks had to return to hospital to be told he now he needs a life saving operation for which €11,000 is needed while there are also associated costs.
His daughter Aisling Hickman Fitzpatrick, who helped to save the lives of some people who got into trouble in the River Nore in Thomastown last year, is now leading the charge in gathering cash with a special GoFundMe page (see here)
