Sad passing of Simonstown Gaels Honorary President John Lally
May 24, 2017
The 1995 IFC winning management team of Dermot O'Brien, John Lally (seated) and Jim Lane celebrate Simonstown's first ever Keegan Cup success last year.
The sad passing has occurred of Kells Road, Navan resident John Lally who was an Honorary President of Simonstown Gaels GFC.
A retired member of An Garda Siochana, the Gort, Co Galway native was a selector when the north Navan club captured Meath IFC honours in 1995.
Castletown were defeated in the final on a scoreline of 0-16 to 2-9.
Five years earlier, his son Gene had lined out in the half-back line as the Gaels prevailed in the 1990 Meath JFC final against Cortown.
John was made an Honorary President of Simonstown in 2003 and he derived great satisfaction from last year's Keegan Cup success.
He is survived by his wife Joan, sons John and Gene and daughter Kathleen and he will also be sadly missed by his loving family, sisters Sr Mona and Eileen, son-in-law, daughters-in-law, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, grandchildren Luke and Ellie, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Funeral arrangements:
Reposing at his residence on Thursday from 4 o'clock until 8 o'clock. Removal on Friday morning at 9.15 o'clock to St. Mary's Church, Navan arriving for 10 o'clock Funeral Mass. Burial afterwards to St. Finian's Cemetery, Old Athboy Road, Navan.
