RIP: Sadness in GAA club over passing of Mayo volunteer

Sean was a cherished member of the Irish community in Manchester and was closely associated with the St Lawrence’s GAA Club for many years where he assisted with teams in various grades.

St Lawrence’s Club, in a statement at the weekend, said they were deeply saddened to hear the news of the death of Peter Walsh.

“Peter was a very special friend and member of St Lawrence’s over many years. He will be remembered for his creations for the St Patrick’s Day Parade and more so for his handmade horses used on our Race Nights.

“Peter will be remembered with happiness and love with all the memories he was part of in our Club. Our condolences to all his family and friends.”

The local community here at home also joins in the expressions of condolences to the Walsh family and friends on the passing of Peter in Manchester.
