Driscoll Death in USA his family came from Moyvane. Jeannette tells me. You can add that Tim was a great person, loved his chocolate, had a great smile, and was determined to do things for himself even at 94 years of age. Drove a car up to a few months before he passed away. He was a thoughtful and caring person. He was proud of his heritage and his country. It was my pleasure to have met him and my sorrow that he never got to go to Ireland to meet family members. They would have definitely loved him.
