Some v.sad news...

Postby Steve » Sun, 31 May 2015 10:07 +0000

Absolutely gutted to learn that our close friend John O'Neill passed away in Sydney earlier this week, I know many people on here knew him from runs in the West before he moved to Oz (yes, he brought the '5) about 5 years ago. Always up for a run/meet/laugh/coffee/chat we'll miss him hugely.
Keep 'er lit buddy!

May he rest in peace. I think this picture may have been taken at the bottom of Ben Bulben on a run based in Boyle, Co.Roscommon, our first run with Mx5 Ireland

Oh gosh no....! That's very sad indeed, very sorry to hear this. I met with him a few times mainly on the Galway runs over the years and a gentleman to boot.
A very good pal of yours I know Steve.

RIP .
Sad news for friends and family.

Ah, how sad.I remember that run with great fondness and although I didn't get to talk to John it was obvious that he was an enthusiast. RIP.
