Colman Patrick Grealish, 71, passed away early in the morning on January 19, 2024 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

I met Colman back in the day when I hung out with his sister, Bridget. The entire family was always super welcoming and I do remember spending many fun times, including several holidays with them. I wish the family Peace and Blessings and the healing hands of God in this time of grief.

Saw the sad news of Colmans passing on Local 130 website. I had the profound pleasure of working with him some years past. Besides being a top notch plumber most importantly he was fun to be around. A smile always on his face, contagious laughter and quick wit a great guy. He kept himself in top physical shape as well. Was my good fortune to have crossed paths with him. God bless his family.

You will always be my favorite Uncle, perhaps because we were closest in age. So cool. So smart. So fun. Remembering the times you came to visit us, when we were young… teaching us how to be healthy (running) and eat well and laugh. You taught us about great music …the Who, and to love our sports…perhaps we sided with Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics, however, the Cubs, Bears and Bulls were never far from my heart…after all I was born in Chi-town! You were blessed with such a great wife in Sarah and three incredibly awesome and fun children in Hannah, Austin and Connor. They all have a great sense of wit, love for family and you. What a blessing to have you with us for all the years after your diagnosis…and what a testament to your courage and strength. Love you so much. You will always be in my heart! XXXOOO Dia dhaoibh
