There are many beautiful and heartfelt tributes paid to Pakie on the condolences section of RIP.ie. Here is a just a small selection.
Packie was one of the most outstanding footballers that I have played against, a true footballing legend. I played for Galway from 1955 to 1963 and we met Leitrim many times and the combination of McGarty and Cathal Flynn was to be feared. The game he played in the 1958 Connacht final still is a permanent memory to me when I think of the supply of ball he gave to the full forward line, especially Cathal Flynn. I know because I was marking Cathal. May Packie rest in peace.
The McGarty era saw Leitrim take on the best and give us something to cheer about
