Modesto made an impression on everyone who met him. Kind, funny, larger than life, and generous, his tragic death at the age of 50 will leave a huge hole in the lives of his wife, children, family and friends.
Mode would have hated a huge fuss, would have hated loads of flowers, so his family have asked that he is remembered and honoured via donations to a charity that was close to his heart – the Owen McVeigh Foundation.
