A fundraiser has been set up for a grandad and dad killed in a horror three-car road crash in Kilkenny<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n Father-of-five Eddie Griffin, 47, who is also a grandfather, died after the smash shortly before 4.30pm on the N10 at Templemartin on Saturday, October 11.<\/p>\n A GoFundMe<\/a> has since been set up to help with funeral expenses.<\/p>\n It reads: “It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Eddie Griffin, who passed on 11\/10\/25.<\/p>\n “He will be very sadly missed by his sons, grandsons, brother, sister-in-law, nieces, extended family, friends and neighbours.”<\/p>\n A family spokesperson added: “As his family navigate this difficult time, they are doing their best to give Eddie the farewell he deserves.<\/p>\n “This fundraiser has been created to assist Eddie\u2019s family in laying him to rest. We kindly are asking for your help to cover some of the funeral expenses – any contribution means the world to us.<\/p>\n “All funds that are raised will go directly towards funeral service costs.<\/p>\n “If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to us.”<\/p>\n A man and woman travelling in the second car were taken to St. Luke\u2019s Hospital, Kilkenny.
