- George Harrison
The
death has taken place of our clubmate George Harrison.
Sadly, George died in the clubhouse on Thursday
evening last June 26th, following a run in the Park.
George
was a long standing Liffey Valley man and enjoyed running on
the road best. He completed a number of marathons and added
his name to the distinguished list of Avondale Cup winners some
years ago.
His
long run for home down the Back Road at the end of a snappy
"8" left many of Dad's Army trailing in his wake in
George's hayday. Anyone who upset the pace of the group would
be given their PFO papers on return to the club.
George
was a great source of encouragement to many of the girls over
recent years when we set about reviving the womens group.
He
had recovered from a serious ilness in November 2006 to get
back running and on Sunday last in driving rain ran a few miles
in the Park with his running mate of recent times Dermot Ryan.
George's
acerbic wit and good humour will be missed by all.
Our
thoughts and prayers are with George's wife
and family at this sad time.
