SYMPATHY

It was with sadness that the news of the death of Doug Haskell, Skeheenarinky was received last week. Our deepest sympathy to Wendy and family on the passing of Doug. A great supporter of community activities, a regular presence in Burncourt, Doug had an engaging personality, a genuine interest in those he met and was always ready with a smile and time for a chat. Our thoughts and prayers are with Wendy and family at this time of sorrow. May Doug rest in peace.
