Recent Deaths.

The death has occurred of Michael Aloysius (Esius) Greene, Clondelara. A kindly and friendly neighbour, he was in the garage and plant hire business after his return from England many years ago. He will also be fondly remembered as the first person to open a chip shop in Shannonbridge, where Supermacs is now located. He is survived by his wife Maura, nine of twelve children, grandchildren and other relatives. His funeral took place to Clonmacnoise on Saturday last.

Also laid to rest today in Mucklagh was Sean KIlroy, a former footballer with St. Carthages and a stalwart of Offaly's run to the All Ireland Final of 1969. He had worked with Bord na Mona and ESB, Lanesboro.

Also news today of the passing of Jimmy Fox, Belmont. His funeral mass takes place in High St, on Wednesday.

May they rest in peace.
