Rosslare Harbour

SYMPATHY

The death has occurred of Bob Ormsby, The Lighthouse, Rosslare Harbour. Bob was a native of Terenure, Dublin and made Wexford his home many years ago. He was a wonderful musician playing the keyboard and organising many concerts and music festivals all over the country.

Bob’s funeral Mass was celebrated in St Patrick’s Church by Fr Diarmuid Desmond and afterwards was laid to rest in St Aidan’s cemetery. Deepest sympathy is extended to his wife Elizabeth, sisters Olive and Patricia, brothers-in-law, sister-in-law, nephews, nieces, relatives and friends. May he rest in peace.
