Patrick (“Paddy”) Francis Ahern
General practitioner Carshalton 1969-93 (b Cork 1940; q UCD 1963), died of prolymphocytic leukaemia on 21 February 1998. He was destined by his father to go into banking but resolved to join the army, entering the Royal Army Medical Corps and qualifying at the age of 22, the youngest in Ireland that year. After serving for five years he did further house jobs and then entered general practice. He had a rare sense of humour and many outside interests, which ranged from beekeeping to military history. He leaves a wife, Marielle, and a son and daughter (a medical student).

He leaves a wife, Carol, and two sons (one a medical student).
