THE LATE TOM SLATERY

After reposing at Ryan’s Funeral Home, Nenagh, on Tuesday evening removal took place on Wednesday morning to Kilbarron Church and after Funeral Mass interment took place in the adjacent cemetery. Tommy was a dearly loved husband, father, grandfather and brother. He was born in Kilbiller and after his marriage resided and farmed in Lesseragh and was a highly respected member of the farming community. Tommy was an integral part of our parish, where he will be best remembered for his GAA involvement. He played with the Shannon Rovers, was a past chairman, he also served as chairman of the Nth. Tipp County Board, just to name some of the posts he filled. Tommy served on the Parish Council in the 1990’s and was also on the original committee of the parish Over 60’s Club when it was formed in 1964 and he spent time on Kilbarron hall committee. Truly a man who worked to make life better for so many, a good neighbour and friend who will be sadly missed by a large circle of family and friends.. Sympathy is extended to his wife Eileen, son Eoin, daughters Suzanne and Roisin, daughter-in-law Kathy, son-in-law Ger, grandchildren Ciara, Niamh, Sean and Tom, brothers Willie, John and Mick, sisters Susan and Sighle, brother-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
