The passing of Ned Byrne

Ned Byrne 1941-2005

Ned was a most gentle man. He worked with me in Brennans Hardware for the past 29 years. He had his own special way of dealing with people and situations. As a mark of respect and a measure of the esteem he was held in at D Brennan and Sons the premises were closed for the duration of his funeral service.

His early schooling was in Athgarvan where he played football. He was also an accomplished Pitch and Putt player for Athgarvan. In recent years he played his pitch and putt at St Bridget Club in Kilcullen.

Those who knew Ned knew he had a couple of great loves. Rings and Darts at The Lobbers in Old Kilcullen and not to mention his love for the odd pint and the eternal fag! His greatest love though was for his wife of 30 years Minnie and his two lovely children Edward and Emer whom he doted on.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

May he rest in peace.
