As a mark of respect, both Supervalu and Glancy's bar in Cortober were closed yesterday.
He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Rosaleen and his children Éamonn and Catherine and also by his brothers Anthony, Éamonn, Jim and Thomas.

Carrick-on-Shannon is a better place because of him, and he will be remembered with enormous affection and gratitude by so many.”
