Deepest sympathies to the O’Gorman family on the passing of John, Shanbally, Ballypatrick.

THE LATE JOHN O'GORMAN


Deepest sympathies to the O’Gorman family on the passing of John, Shanbally, Ballypatrick.
John spent a long and happy life farming in Shanbally and was a highly respected member of the farming community where his advice and judgement was much sought after.


He had many interests and chief amongst them being horse racing and greyhound racing, especially coursing where he was a member for many years with Clonmel and District and as a consequence had built a wide circle of friends and acquaintances countrywide.


John was also a keen GAA enthusiast and had the distinction of playing with Old Kilcash and Kilsheelan/Kilcash during his footballing career, and remained a faithful follower of his club and county's fortunes.


John always loved discussing and analysing games and races, his gentle jovial company was an absolute pleasure to partake in and enjoy.


To Joan, Dick, Brenda, Martin and extended family we tender our sincere sympathies.
May he rest in peace.
