Even after all this time, my mother remembers your name, - you must have been brats!!! ;-) She says, Colm, being the only boy, was spoilt rotten. We all miss him.

Recently I started researching on Google and just today searched 'Colm Wynne' and read the sad news of his passing. I knew Colm for about 6 years- right from 3rd class primary in Joeys where he was part of the East Wall Mafia, right up to Inter-Cert in 1960. I really do have the very warmest and best of memories of Colm, he was very bright, very outgoing and seemed to have strong rebel tendencies, exactly the requirements for a good friend. He, Robert Carey also from East Wall and some other 'neer-do-wells' were something of a challenge for the teachers at the time, but they (and we) overcame that challenge. Please, accept my very belated but very sincere sympathy on the passing of Colm, a great guy, a guy I was lucky enough to know. Go ndheana Dia trócaire ar a anam.

No doubt Colm and your brother Sé have toasted your cousin Aileen for the beautiful words of her eulogy, and there will be ballroom dancing in heaven tonight. <br />All the best to you and your family,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.com
