Mornington

PETER REYNOLDS RIP

Peter Reynolds from Crook Road, Mornington passed away last week in his 98th year. He was a fisherman from an early age, fishing for salmon on the river Boyne and also harvesting mussels on the Boyne as well. His Brother Christy once told me that the father would give Peter a shout at 4 in the morning and say to Peter ‘are you getting up or are you going to stay there all day?’

Peter came from a great Christian family. If they couldn’t do a good turn, they most certainly would not do a bad one.

Peter was predeceased by his wife, Cecilia, his brothers James, Patrick, Felix and Michael and his sister Mary. Deeply regretted by his brother Christopher and Christopher’s wife, Maureen, sister in law Alice and her husband Jim, nephews and nieces, friends and relatives.

May Peter’s soul rest in peace.
