OBITUARY

The news of the death of John Moriarty, Lisdargan, Lispole was received with sadness by all of us who knew him. We all have fond memories of John coming to Camp Fair and winning prizes for his quality sheep down through the years. Sympathy is extended to his wife Teresa, daughter, son, brother and sisters, grandchildren and extended family and many friends.  John, affectionately known as (Johnny, Dingle) a throwback from his wide and varied travels around the world was a very popular man and will be missed by everybody.  Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilís.

Sympathy is extended to Richard Greensmyth on the recent death of his mother Margaret Greensmyth, Railway Terrace, Tralee and to all the Greensmyth family and friends in Camp and Tralee.
