Noel Cummins RIP

I heard yesterday afternoon that Noel Cummins had died.

Noel was an extraordinary person. He was one of the most generous people I have ever had the good fortune to know.

Noel lived in Castlegregory in West Kerry.  I was talking to him on Thursday on the phone. He was in his early 80s, a fit man.

What that man did for people in the village. He would do anything for anyone. A great photographer, could do anything with his hands and up to very recently could be seen climbing up a ladder. Noel spent most of his working life with Posts and Telegraph, later known eircom. He spent many years working at Cork Airport on secondment from P&T.

More to follow, I hope on this great man.

My deepest sympathy to his three children, their spouses and his two sisters. His wonderful wife died many years ago.

May he rest in peace.
