This week, Chapelhall Primary, Saint Aloysius Primary and Honeywell Nursery celebrated the life of their Janitor Eddie McMahon who sadly passed away last summer. Following the school community fundraising activities, a memorial bench and planters has been placed in the school grounds with the support of his employer Cofely (formerly Balfour Beatty). Mrs Brown said ‘Eddie was a big part of our school community and it seems fitting to have this memorial bench to remember him and its nice that his family were able to come and share this with us today‘. A donation of over £900 has also been given in his memory to St Andrews Hospice.
A lovely time remembering Mr McMahon this afternoon, thanks to all the family, staff and friends who were able to attend.
That’s sad that Mr McMahon died. 🙁
