Funeral Information
The Family would appreciate if you could leave a message to be put into a book of condolences for the family.
I’m saddened by the news of George’s passing. I have fond childhood memories of growing up together, starting school, long summers playing, a very large go-kart. Our paths crossed on Merrion Sq. about 25 years ago. He talked proudly of his son travelling abroad to pursue a career in equine. I’m sure he and all the family will miss George greatly, as I miss the days.
We have only warm memories and admiration for you George, our prayers , thoughts and heartfelt condolences to Vera, Raymond & Damien, all the grandchildren and wider family members . Bless you all and may God grant you strength. xxx
