How lucky we were that when Louise and Jim Mc Veigh left Belfast that they chose Randalstown to make their home. How lucky we were that they had a son called James who joined our club and brought with him a new enthusiasm for all things GAA, a love of hurling, football and camogie, a burning ambition to improve our club, a whole range of skills that saw him join committees, manage teams, young and old, train the Mothers and Others and inspire us all with his craic and banter. I remember him preparing for his sister’s wedding and the time and effort he put in to learning the pronunciation of the reading he had to do in Irish. He was determined to get it right and always had the cúpla focal any time we met. I can’t believe he has gone so suddenly from us. He was one good adult and that smiling face will now be lighting up heaven. He will never be forgotten. Sincere condolences to Louise, Jim and all the family.
