It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of John Healy a good friend of sthoee and many of us here personally.
A young man taken in his prime
John was a keen First Aider with St John's Ambulance and had been active in lifesaving for a long time. In recent years he had completed his Beach TA with us on Claremont. John gave much of his time to the RLSS as treasurer over many years. Even when he hung up his hat he gave time, probably most notably when he assisted the branch when irregularities were discovered.
We've known John as a friend for many years and, no doubt, many stories will be shared in the coming days. We were swimming on Sunday when the news came though, as one of our trainers said there'll be no more "one last question".
To his wife and family and to his greater family in Monkstown RLSS we extend our sympathies,
you are all in our thoughts and prayers
