‘Gentle giant’ remembered at Omagh Bombing Inquiry A “loving husband” and “amazing” father-of-three killed in the Omagh bombing has been remembered as a “gentle giant” at an inquiry into the atrocity.
Ms McCrory’s statement said her father was a hard worker that, after a short stint in the fire service, spent the rest of his life in the family business.
Inquiry chairman Lord Turnbull said the statement showed Mr McCrory was “a caring and patient family man”.
“As a family, instead, our family events are overshadowed by an immeasurable loss and always a constant awareness of our missing husband, father and friend – our gentle giant.”.
The inquiry heard Mr McCrory “loved taking photographs” and was regularly designated as the photographer at a range of family events.
