From his boyhood days spent hunting, bowl-playing, footballing and boxing in Blackpool, to his rise in the professional boxing world, his heroic challenge for the Empire title, his marriage and move to Blackrock and his success as the trainer of the Cork and Blackrock hurling teams, Pakey Mahony was the quintessential Cork man. He was hard working, good at every sport he turned his hand to, a caring husband and father and naturally humble.(Submitted on June 12, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
