The 66-year-old passed away at home surrounded by his family, early this morning.
He played hockey for Leinster and Kilkenny Hockey Club and was a wonderful, welcoming presence at Kilkenny Tennis Club for many years where he was much loved.
He was a respected farmer, won a number of Kilkenny ploughing championships and was a great neighbour.
His remains will repose at his home at his home in Furzehouse (R95 FF25) from 4pm on Thursday with Rosary at 8pm.
