Sheamin from Tullaghanstown died last night in his sleep.He got his wish in this as he told our Finn in a recent visit that he wished to go this way.
I knew that the writing was on the wall when he failed to attend the Champoinship replay last Saturday,a game he would miss only if entirely unfit to attend.
He was at the drawn game but looked awful and one just knew he had but little time.
This 80 year true blue Gael and fanatical Dunderry GAA man was one of a diminishing number of survivors of his generation who knew what real hardship was and whose values were impeccable.
In the game of life ,the most important game of all ,he played a blinder and will be feted for eternity in the company of the Referee of all the ages .
His sole surviving sibling is Angela and she too is under pressure.
All here sympathize with her and all belonging to him.,especially his nephews and nieces.
Ar dheis De go raibh a hAnam Dilis.
His remains will be reposing in Fitzsimonses Funeral Home,Navan from 2.30 p.m.to 6.30 p.m tomorrow Sunday thence to Dunderry Church to arrive at 7.00.pm.
Funeral Mass is on Monday at midday -12.00a.m and burial at Dunderry graveyard ,where as I write this a massive crowd of neighbours and friends are digging his grave in accordance with long established tradition.
