On Thursday morning our member, Peter Kavanagh, phoned to say that his friend, and ours, Jimmy Green (R.I.P.) had died earlier in the morning at Beaumont Hospital.
To Eilish, Jennifer, James and families, and extended Green and McKeown families. Jimmy was a very active member, a great friend and support to us all. He was a much-respected gentleman and as a wonderful photographer his unique slide shows were highlights for many years of our annual general meetings. We will miss him greatly and on behalf of the society we wish to extend our sincere condolences and sympathy.

Fr Michael Murtagh, the celebrant at Jimmy's funeral Mass (Saturday 17th April) mentioned that Jimmy was a faithful and valued member of the Society and he served as Vice-President. Fr Michael also said Jimmy was one we would turn to for his giftedness. He has left us a legacy of visual imagery.
Jimmy was always generous with his photographs, be it to include them in a publication or to present them at our annual meetings. The above photo was a rare occasion when Jimmy was on the 'other' side of the camera!
Michael Gaynor, President of the Old Dundalk Society has also been in touch, and he said that Jimmy was a founder member and contributed greatly to its success.
We would like to remember Jimmy
by including a few of his photographs and to thank Eilish and the family for
all the hospitality during what were always enjoyable visits.
