The Passing of Billy Sammon

The Diary has learned with sadness of the death of Billy Sammon, Old Kilcullen.

Billy was postman in Kilcullen for some 35 years, and retired around 16 years ago. He is survived by his wife Daisy and two sisters.

Billy died while in the tremendous care of the staff in St Brigid's Hospice, The Curragh. He is reposing at his residence from where removal will take place on Friday evening at 6.30 to arrive at Kilcullen Parish Church at 7 o'clock.

Requiem Mass will be celebrated on Saturday at 11 o'clock and will be followed afterwards by interment in Old Kilcullen Cemetery.

To his family and very many friends, we express our deepest sympathies.

Brian Byrne.
