Mick Wimsey R.I.P.

The above,who lived for many years on the Black Road, died tragically at the tender age of 56 years in Trim last Sunday 30th January 2012..We fully sympathise with  his children Karen,Jenny,Sandy and Michael,all of whom played either hurling or camogie with the GAA and Camogie Clubs and their mother Anne on their most sad and heartbreaking bereavement.
In later years Mick lived with his partner Nuala and her children in Trim.
A native of Ardsallagh,Navan,he will be sadly missed by all his family already mentioned,his partner and her children,brother ,sisters,grandchildren,nephews ,nieces,in laws and a wide circle of friends.
The funeral Mass in Trim today was packed to capacity,a sign of the esteem in which he was justifiably held and the hearse wound its way through Dunderry ,where he spent much of his life ,on its way to the graveyard in St.Mary's cemetery in Navan.
A good crowd turned out in Dunderry to pay respects to a life cut short in its prime.
My memory returns to happier times when the four amigos,Frank and Neill Smith ,Joe Mc Nally and Michael soldiered together in the haulage trade.They were some crew and no one nor nothing fazed them.
I happened to be in their company for a whole day years ago when they were salvaging a truck for use on the road.Them boys could work and work they did,not once over the whole day referring to each by their Christian names.
The banter between "Showman"aka "Rodger "rabbit (Frankien),"The Nailer"(Neill),"Skin "(Joe Mac) and "Metal"(Mickey) was priceless as they addressed each other by these monikers totally unaware that an outsider would be totally lost.
But to paraphrase what  the Cavan man said when he refused to pay the lady of the night for services rendered,"That is the Dunderry way".
Happily "Nailer" is still with us and I have no doubt that the other three are repairing the haulage fleet of the Good Lord.
These boys will deliver on time,make no mistake.
Ar deis De go raibh a hAnam dilis.
