DEATH
The death took place on Saturday last of Dermot O Leary of Kilhoran, Knockrour East who had been ill for a short time. The late Dermot was a very popular man in the locality, who was very obliging and most helpful at all times. He was a hard working individual and had three great passions in life: farming, politics and drama. He was very well known and liked by all and was a great family and community man who will be very sadly missed by everyone in the community, but most of all by his loving wife Mary and family. The late Dermot is survived by his wife Mary, by his daughter Eileen, son Danny, by his daughter in law Claire and his grandson Andy, by his sisters Joan and Maimie and by his brothers Denis and Dan and by his extended family. The entire parish will greatly mourn Dermot’s passing at a relatively young age. Burial took place in Scartaglen Cemetery on Tuesday last. May he Rest In Peace.
