News has just reached me that the King of the Dealers and resident of Tullaghanstown,Tommy Tuite had a turn yesterday evening and died a few hours ago.
I knew he wasn't well this while back and had gone downhill since a traffic accident some time ago,but didn't know until last week that he had also contacted an incurable disease and was fading.He was the luckiest man in Ireland to have such a loving wife as Rose and such a respecting and kind son as Brian,who I would say hasn't got it in him to offend anybody ,to care for him in his time of need.
Last Friday after our six o clock Vigil Muskateer Liam and his cousin Podge picked up Hughie Geraghty and went to visit Tommy.This was the first indication I had that all was not good.
I meant to visit him but never dreamed that his time was so short.
A more complete tribute will be penned later for this man,who sat beside my uncle Tommy at Tullaghanstown School for many years and who will now join his own son Thomas in Heaven.
His remains were received this (Monday) evening at 7.30 in Dunderry Church,where they will repose overnight and depart for Rathmore cemetery after 11.00 a.m. Mass tomorrow.
