Aiden, who was club captain in 1999, the duties for which he carried out efficiently and proudly, will be greatly missed by all in the Golf Club, but more so, incalculably by his loving family. We tender our sincerest sympathy to Mary, his wife, sons Kevin and Aiden and daughter Ciara and to his extended family, especially the apple of his eye, grand daughter Ellie May.
