The passing of Tom Kernaghan

The Diary records with sadness the death of Tom Kernaghan, late of Thomastown and husband to his late wife Sheila.

I remember Tom last from very recently, when I met him at the Esso Filling Station, as many would have on a regular basis, or otherwise about his business on the streets of Kilcullen.

A big quiet man, who always said what he had to say softly, and who put part of his soul into every piece of joinery he produced, he will be sorely missed in the community, and especially by his children Gillian, David, Thomas and Barbara, and his extended family and very many friends.

His removal will take place from his residence this evening at 7.30pm, to the Garrison Church in the Curragh Camp. The funeral service will be tomorrow (Thursday) at 3pm, followed by burial in Ballysax Churchyard.
