All in St Peter's GAA club were saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Gerard O'Reilly in the US.
In an interview with the club last summer for the upcoming history of St Peter's Gerard recalled cycling down the road from Sarney to Tom's field to play football and hurling as a youngster. Gerard also recalled all those from Dunboyne who helped him before and during his running career which took him world wide. When asked about his run in the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and how every Dunboyner was cheering him on he said it was only after the event he realised how much it mattered to local people.
We send our condolences to all the O'Reilly family at this sad time, we also remind them of all the good memories Gerard has left us.
Rest easy Gerard .
