Later Life and Death
In his later life, Patrick Henchy continued living in Eglinton Park, Donnybrook, in Dublin, and contributing to the library world. In 1985 Henchy collected a large sum of money to fund cultural bodies like the Palestrina Choir of St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, the National Library of Ireland, and the Royal Hibernian Academy. This feat was made possible through Henchy’s friendship with J. Barry Brown, who along with his wife, Wanda Petronella Brown, gave an endowment to Henchy. Henchy also heavily aided Con Howard in administering lectures and events as one of the founding members of the Cumman Merriman Organization.[1]. On the 6th of May 2001, one day after his 88th birthday, [2] Henchy died in his Donnybrook home [3]. That same day, his body was removed from his home and was taken to church of the Sacred Heart, where his body was kept until the next day when he was buried in Deansgrange Cemetery on the 10th of May [4]. Henchy died leaving behind his wife Monica, his daughters, Mary and Deirdre, and his brother, Justice Séamus Henchy legacy of the supreme court [5]. After his death, Henchy’s family passed on a pastel on paper portrait made by Thomas Ryan to the National Library of Ireland, along with documents that record the life and legacy of the late Henchy. Henchy was a well accepted member of his community and his reputation and memory was and maintained positive, with The Irish Times’ obituary of Henchy stating that, “Paddy Henchy will have little difficulty getting past St Peter” [6]. Six days after his death, historian Dr Brendan Ó Cathaoir homaged Henchy by writing in the The Irish Times that Henchy was “gentleman of the old school, he was urbane and scholarly, always ready to give a word of advice and encouragement” [7]
