May His Gentle Soul Rest In Peace
The late Jim Harnett will be best remembered as a long serving lorry driver for pig buyer Mossie O’Connell and later for his involvement at the Castleisland Co-Op Mart.
People who liked a song or two with their drink found the genial Jim ideal company and he had a few party pieces. John Shanahan’s up to the time of its closure and later Browne’s Bar were his haunts.
He was part of an excursion back to his native Abbeyfeale with Peter Browne when they were planning of starting a regular singing session in the bar – for which Jim acted as master of ceremonies back in the spring of 2010. May God be good to him.
