SYMPATHY

We express sincere sympathy to sisters Joan and Kathleen, brother Michael and the extended family and many friends of the late Bob Keane (R.I.P). Bob was President of the Sliabh gCua/St. Mary’s GAA Club and along with his sister Joan, had been actively involved with the Club for many decades. Bob’s commitment to the Club was reflected by the 24 team members who carried Bob’s remains from his residence to his final resting place with all members and the guard of honour proudly wearing their team colours as a mark of respect. May he rest in peace.
