It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our big brother Benny Walsh. Benny died on 3rd October in Georgia, USA at the age of just 66.

Many will remember him as the joint owner of the De Courcy Arms in Downpatrick, a place where music, chat, jokes, tears and drinks were all shared. We will remember his humour, his hugs, him always being right and his unwavering belief that United will indeed by great again.

He will be forever missed by his sons Benny and Niall and his wider family circle of Monica, Alison, Cathy, Elaine, Ellen, Luka and Joseph.

His ashes will return to Ireland at a later date, when there will be a private celebration of his life with close friends and family.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Philip and Conor.
