The late Tony Cleary

The death took place on Wednesday, March 12, of Tony Cleary, Mucklagh, Tullamore.

Tony, who was 78 years of age, passed away peacefully after a short illness in the Regional Hospital Tullamore.

Born and raised in Rathcabbin, Tony came from a well-known family in the parish. Although he has resided in Mucklagh for most of his adult life, he visited his relatives on a regular basis over the years. When he retired from work in Condron Concrete, he kept active and one of the sports that helped him do that was the game of golf, which he played up to recently.

Predeceased by his infant son Peter, Tony will be sadly missed by his loving wife Kathleen, sons Kevin, Ted, Damien and Noel, daughter Mary, daughters-in-law, Patricia, Linda, Grace and Violet, son-in-law Shane, his adored grandchildren and great- grandson, brother Pat, sister Mary (Quinn), nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and his many friends to whom sympathy is extended.

After Funeral Mass in St Colman's Church, Mucklagh, on Saturday week last, burial took place in the adjoining Old Cemetery. May he rest in peace.
