Sincerest condolences to his family and friends

There was a piece in Irish Times a few weeks ago about hurling being his first love. He was on the 1973 Dublin under-21 team that were defeated by Galway in the final. Was involved in hurling up till his untimely passing away.

I met him in San Francisco on one of the All Stars trips.  It was the tour after he pulled Rock up.  He was a great fellow, friendly with everyone and totally modest.  RIP
