Donegal GAA club pay their respects to fisherman tragically killed
The late Andrew O’Hare will be laid to rest in Belfast tomorrow and Naomh Columba have passed on their condolences
The man who tragically lost his life whilst fishing earlier this week, who has family connections in Donegal, will be laid to rest tomorrow.
The body of Andrew O’Hare, originally from Belfast, was recovered from Carlingford Lough after a fishing boat sank on Tuesday afternoon.
A search and rescue operation began at the fjord between Co Louth and Co Down when a member of the public contacted the Irish Coast Guard’s Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Dublin.
The late Andrew is the brother of Paul, who now lives in Glencolmcille with his wife Sharon and family.
“We would like to offer our deepest condolences to Paul, Sharon and the extended O’Hare family on the passing of Andrew,” Naomh Columba GAA club posted. “Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.”
The beloved husband of Sinéad, Andrew was the cherished father of Rachel (Michael), Gráinne and David and doting grandfather of Daithí and Oisín. Andrew was the loving son of Alice and the late James, and brother to Liam (Shirley) and Paul (Sharon) and uncle to his nieces and nephews.
Andrew will be reposing at his late residence, 1 Beechill Park, Belfast, BT8 6NT, today, Friday, between 2pm and 8pm.
Requiem mass will be held in Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Drumbo, on Saturday at 11am, followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery. Family flowers only, please; donations, if desired, for RNLI. c/o O’Kanes Funeral Home, 116-118 Donegall Street, Belfast
