Sympathy
We extend our deepest sympathy to the family, relatives and friends of the late Michael O’Leary, Thomastown and Chicago. Michael won two minor championships with the club in 1967 and again in ’68 when he captained the team. An utterly fearless competitor, he also featured on the Offaly Vocational Schools team who were narrowly defeated in the All Ireland final in 1968 alongside seven of his club colleagues. His departure to the USA was a huge loss to the club incomparable now to the loss felt by his grieving family. A very proud Drumcullen and Offaly supporter, he kept in constant touch with both club and county activity and recently attended the Offaly Senior Hurling final despite his failing health. A great and unforgettable character he will be sorely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.
