Beyond the post, Eamon is a man of many talents. He drove diggers with ease and nurtured his own vegetable garden, bringing a touch of skill and patience to everything he did.

He also achieved a distinguished sporting feat: Winning the Westport An Post cycling championship. Although not a renowned cyclist, Eamon knuckled down with perseverance, training under coach John Nixon.

On race day, he executed a bold breakaway to finish first, edging out seasoned competitors and earning his place wearing the yellow jersey to this day.

As Eamon looks toward retirement, his colleagues, customers and neighbours send their best wishes for health, happiness, and well-deserved rest.
