It was with shock and sadness that the community learned of the very sudden passing of young Jack Murphy in Australia.
Jack was son of Rob and Siobhán Murphy née Lavin and brother to Aimee. Sincere and heartfelt sympathies to his parents and sister and extended family in Australia and to his grandparents Evelyn and Austin, his uncles Paul, Martin and Austin, cousins and extended family.
Jack was a regular visitor to the area before the family emigrated to Australia and he will be remembered fondly by all those who knew him. May he Rest In Peace.
