It is with great sadness that i inform the pigeon fancy of the passing today of our great friend Willie Wynne.Willie was a member of the Finglas club for many years and while he had many great successes Willies true enjoyment was to see his pigeons arrive home safely,especially from France.He was made an honoury member of our club a couple of years ago.An honour that was well deserved as Willie had held many posts on the committie and even though his illness was taking its toll he was still helping out in the club on marking nights.Willie always enjoyed his trips to the Blackpool show where he loved meeting up with all his old pals.To all Willies Family and friends we send our deepest sympathy.God bless Willie and thanks for the memories. From all the members of the Finglas R.P.C. M.E.
