Kilsheelan/Kilcash Community Notes

Tipperary Tipperary Tipperary

Frank Burke of Ballyglasheen, Kilsheelan, Tipperary / Clonmel, Tipperary

Deepest sympathies to the Burke family on the passing of Frank, to his wife Agnes, son Patrick daughters Mary, Martina and Noelle we extend our deepest sorrow.

Frank was a very popular figure in the parish and will be always remembered far and wide for his love of card playing and Agnes and Frank were a formidable opposition at any table, he loved neighbours calling for a good chat and had a mine of knowledge on parish history and folklore.
