It was with great sadness that the Club came to hear of the death of Donie (Bronson) O’Sullivan on Thursday evening.
Bronson , who was known to everyone far and wide suffered a serious heart attack when preparing for his Tuesday morning work run to South Kerry, nine days earlier.
He had his own bacon run for over 30 years which he ran with great dedication and efficiency. In his heyday in the mid 70’s Bronson played Senior Championship for the Blues. He was an ever present supporter of the Club.
He was very proud when his son Danny won a Minor Championship medal in 2006 and went on to Captain The Kerry Minors the following year. This year again with his son Danny as senior captain, he was ever present at all games.
At the age of 62 hiss passing is an immense loss to his family and the local community. The Kerins O’Rahilly Club wish to extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Peggy and his children Brian, Ciara, Tara, Louise, Carol and Danny. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam.
