London GAA is mourning the passing of Kevin Kelly following a battle with cancer.
A native of Clara, Co. Offaly, Kevin managed the clubhouse in Ruislip and was a well-respected member of the Irish community in London. He was well-known for his fundraising work for charities that affect the Irish in the English capital over the past 25 years and was a trustee of Safe Start Foundation Charity.
Only last month, an appreciation night was held in Ruislip's Emerald Rooms for Kevin, who was diagnosed with a Grade 4 brain tumour last summer which required major surgery.
May he rest in peace.
Sincere sympathy to the family of the late Kevin Kelly RIP @LONDAINGAA a great friend to all Offaly visitors to London @Clara_gaa_club
