The funeral of a businessman who died on Christmas Eve following a horror hammer attack has heard he was “the salt of the earth, a generous man who was well liked and always joking with people.”
Brian Reynolds, 47, was also remembered for his storytelling which always finished with him laughing - and everyone else around him laughing as well.
Brian, of Rathmullen Park in Drogheda, Co Louth died on Christmas Eve in hospital three days after a gang of up to four men burst into his home and subjected him to a horror attack involving hammers.
