There is sadness in Tipperary following the passing of Bobby Gleeson, father of former Tipperary senior hurler Conor Gleeson.
Bobby, of St Joseph's Avenue, Boherlahan, and formerly of Parkstown, Horse and Jockey, Thurles, passed away peacefully late last week at Tír na nÓg, Our Lady's Hospital, Cashel, in his 84th year.
His son Conor is well known in Tipperary GAA circles, having represented the Premier County at senior level during his hurling career in the 1990s and 2000s.
Bobby's passing will be deeply felt by his family, relatives, neighbours and many friends throughout the Boherlahan and wider Thurles area.
He is sadly missed by his loving wife Pauline, daughters Hilary, Carol and Miriam, son Conor, sons-in-law Vince, Mike and Peter, grandchildren Aoife, Paul, Katie, Sarah, Charlie, Max, Tom, Alfie, James, Freya and Brian, brother Seán, sister Chris Hickey, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, relatives, neighbours and friends.
His Requiem Mass took place on Wednesday at 11.30am in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Boherlahan, followed by burial in Ardmayle Cemetery.
May he rest in peace.
