Gordon Charles Pamment, my father, died suddenly January 20, 2010. Born January 8, 1931, in Edmonton, Middlesex, he had been a vicar, first in England then in the Republic of Ireland.

He had attended Trinity College, Dublin, from 1950 to 1954. From 1954 to 1956 he completed two years of National Service in 46 Company RASC (coincidentally, his father Charles Francis Pamment had served in the RASC during World War II). From there Gordon went to Lincoln Theological College (1956 – 1958), graduating in 1958 and earning his first curacy at Hemel Hempstead. He married Jean Althea Green in 1960. His first parish was at Holbeach Hurn in Lincolnshire, followed by Whaplode Drove also in Lincolnshire. In 1965 Gordon took his family (by then he and Jean had three daughters) to the Republic of Ireland where he was installed in Iniscarra Union of Parishes in December 1965. In 1971 he moved to the Rathcormac Union of Parishes, which was merged into the Fermoy Union of Parishes in 1980. He served the Fermoy Union of Parishes until 1990 when he retired due to ill health. He devoted his retirement to his family which had grown by three more children.

Gordon was the youngest of three children born to Charles Francis Pamment and Ada Florence Taylor. His oldest sibling, Edward Henry Pamment died in 1987. He is survived by his older sister.
