Bereavement
THE death occurred of Tommy Heneghan, Srah, Tourmakeady, on Friday, July 16, at the Mayo General Hospital, in his 77th year and following an illness.

In the pre-taxi ere Tommy was the driver for dancers in Pontoon, Tooreen, Cummer or French Hill, two or three nights a week.
He loved a game of cards and the odd pint. He always remembered the Lenten and November fasts.
Large crowds attended his final farewell and his remains reposed and removed from St. Mary’s funeral home, Tourmakeady, to the local church. Burial took place in the adjoining cemetery, after Mass celebrated by Fr. John Kenny p.p. assisted by Fr. Desmond Grogan.
The readings were given by Jim Heneghan, nephew of Tommy, Chicago. Prayers of the faithful were given by Fiona and Sandra. Requiem songs were presented by the Srah choir, with Tomas O’Máille giving a memorable grave side song.
Tommy is survived by his sisters Nancy, Srah; Mary, Catherine and Eileen, all Chicago; brothers Jimmie and Paddy, both Chicago; sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, cousins, neighbours and friends. May his soul rest in peace.
