Sympathies
Mick Gunning, RIP
Everyone in Tullamore GAA was saddened to hear of the sad passing of Michael Gunning this week.
Although Michael represented Clara winning a number of championships with them I his early days he immersed in Tullamore GAA when he moved into the town and served as secretary to our club among other positions.
No doubt Michael was very proud to see his grandsons Peter, Dan and Mike (Fox) continue his fine playing legacy and representing & winning senior hurling and football medals in recent years.
Our deepest sympathies go out to his Daughters Maureen and Catherine, sons Brian, Mick and John, son in law Tom, daughters in law Michelle, Marie and Áine, Grandchildren Peter, Áine, Aisling, Kate, Hugh, Eimear, Sarah, Daniel, Michael, Ali and Iarla and the extended Gunning Family and Mick’s wide circle of friends.
