Brendan Bowyer Showband legend Brendan Bowyer has been hailed as “a man of faith” who was “very friendly and very humble”.
Brendan was 81 when he died last week in Las Vegas surrounded by his family.
Fr Brian D’Arcy, who knew Brendan when he was a student, said: “We were friendly that long ago and we always remained very good friends and indeed he invited me out to Las Vegas on a number of occasions to do weddings for band members and so forth and we kept in touch when he came home, we’d always meet and have a chat.
“He was a good guy,” Fr D’Arcy said, describing him as a “man of faith”.
