Condolences to Joan Smyth & the Smyth & Duffy Families on the passing of Gerry Smyth, Main Street. A larger-than-life figure, Gerry, affectionately known as Coach Smyth, leaves a huge legacy behind, particularly in Basketball. He is the epitome of what volunteerism & community spirit is about. Deepest sympathy to his family, who will miss him greatly. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
