Passing Of Canon Tim O Leary

The club are deeply saddened at the sudden passing of our club president Canon Tim O Leary on Sunday evening last. Canon Tim as he was affectionately known had been in Mitchelstown over 25 years and I can safely say he was a priest of the people. A man of many talents he had word for every organisation and his knowledge knew no bounds.  May his gentle soul rest in heavenly peace.Ar dheis De go raibha a anam diliis.
