Significant people's (not celebrities) deaths

His passing feels* like the death of a beloved Grandad.

*What it must feel like, my longest surviving Grandad died five weeks after I was born.

May he forever be in heaven, sniffing Adrienne’s knickers.

An uncle of Ger Aylward

"He was a proud Mullinavat man, rooted in his community, and personified the legendary spirit of his club, Ballyhale Shamrocks. This great sense of place gave Bobby a wonderful authenticity and made him the man he was.“. :man_shrugging:t5::man_shrugging:t5:

David Trimble has died

Fairly progressive

I remember being disappointed when Trimble won the leadership contest for the UUP. He was the hardline candidate. Drumcree then confirmed my view that he was an inflamatory politician.

In reality Trimble turned out to be a most courageous politician who alienated many in his own community by compromising and sharing power with nationalists and republicans. He acted and risked much to take hard choices. He ended up being a bit of a fall guy.

Trimble spoke well about Irishness and changed my perspective on that. I disagreed with him still over some things but found him generally to be a force for good and a most interesting person. RIP
