So sorry about my brother Bernard’s passing. He was a very caring brother and he was always willing to lend a helping hand. He will be greatly missed by everyone and he’s a great loss to the community. We are devastated by his passing as he was very conscientious about his health, he was a daily communicant and he had a walk daily to keep healthy. We will all miss you Bernard. May you rest in peace with Mam and Dad, Felie, Eoghan and Roisin. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

Sincere sympathy to Bernard's family on their sad loss and to the Abbeyside/Ballinacourty club on the passing of a great, longstanding club servant as a player and official. Will miss our little chats at games in Fraher Field.
