Kilmeena GAA and parish are deeply saddened by the sudden and untimely passing of John Moore, Buckfield. John was predeceased by his father John Thomas, sister Eileen and infant brother Willie Joe. John was an active member of our parish and a former club player and coach. Like so many others of the time, John emigrated to London in 1984. He played football with Dr. Crokes in Hertfordshire and was part of the team in ’84 when they won the County Senior and ‘Sevens’ Championship. In 1988, John had the honour of being captain and trainer leading the team to the Senior Hertfordshire Championship. John returned home to Kilmeena in the early 90’s and played on the ’93 team winning a Junior County title defeating Ballycastle in a replay. In 1995 John was part of the management who helped guide the intermediate team to a Championship final where they lost out to Louisburgh. Over the years John was also involved with and helped coach various underage teams within the club. John was a family man and great neighbour. He was known far and wide through his passion for farming and involvement in GAA. He was a fun-loving character with a large smile and will be greatly missed in our community. All at Kilmeena GAA club would like to extend their deepest sympathies to John’s wife Nora, daughter Patricia, mother Sheila, sisters Bridie and Mary Teresa and to all his extended family and friends.

The passing of Paddy O’Grady, Cushalogart, Kilmeena brought great sadness to the parish and wider community and to the members of Kilmeena GAA Club. Paddy was predeceased by his wife Mary (nee Gibbons), brother Michael Joe & sister Mary O’Shea (Chicago). Paddy was a quiet and unassuming family man, who enjoyed the farming life, had an infectious love of Gaelic games and Kilmeena GAA. He was a caring neighbour and friend and like so many of his generation had a great faith in his religion. During the fifties Paddy was involved in the club both as a player and as an administrator. He severed as Secretary in 1956 and again in 1959. Then after a short period of inactivity in the club, Paddy was at the forefront when in 1963 efforts were made to reform the club. He took on the role of Chairman serving from 1963 to 1966 at a time when a steady hand was required. Paddy’s excellent leadership helped to guide and steer the club back on to its feet. He was always a great man to patiently encourage those he met with words of wisdom and support. You couldn’t but come away feeling better after talking with Paddy O’Grady. Paddy was a loyal supporter of the club lotto and regularly attended the Thursday night draws where he met friends and caught up on the activities of club and community over the previous week. He will be greatly missed around our club and community. All at Kilmeena GAA Club would like to extend their deepest sympathies to Paddy’s family, Ann, Mary (Club Secretary), Regina, Michael and Geoffrey, his grandchildren, extended family, friends and neighbours.
