The family of the late Eugene Hillick, who passed away on the 3rd October 2026, wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to all those who supported and sympathised with them in their recent bereavement.
To all our family, extended family and dear friends who called to the house, attended the wake and funeral, sent Mass cards, flowers, donations to Marie Curie and messages of sympathy, your kindness and presence brought us comfort during a very difficult time.
A special word of thanks to the staff at Creggan Family Practice and Altnagelvin Hospital, including the North West Cancer Centre, Ward 50, Ward 2 and A&E for their dedication and the care they gave to Eugene during his illness.
Our sincere thanks to the District Nurses, Marie Curie and the Palliative Care Team, especially Doctor Damien McMullan, who cared for Eugene with such compassion, dignity and kindness.
Thank you to Father Micheál McGavigan for his support during Eugene’s illness and for celebrating a beautiful Funeral Mass, and to Kathryn and Charlotte for the lovely music.
Our sincere thanks to Bradley & McLaughlin Funeral Directors for their professionalism, sympathy and support during the wake and funeral.
A special word of thanks to our friends and extended family, neighbours and everyone who stood beside us at such an incredibly difficult time. Also, to the City of Derry Swimming Club, North West Golf Club and St Columb’s College for the guards of honour. We as a family appreciate your thoughtful gesture, and it meant a great deal to us to remember Eugene in such a meaningful way.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone personally, we hope that this acknowledgement will be accepted as a sincere expression of our family’s gratitude
