Sincere sympathy to Austin’s family – he was such a lovely neighbour, always smiling, always positive. A genuine ‘old school’ farmer who took such care over his animals and the farm, which he kept like a new pin. Such a gentleman, always happy to stop for the chat & you’d spot him a mile off in his tractor wearing his big sun hat with the biggest smile to match. He will be so missed by so many & very much missed in Knockaunakill village, may his gentle soul rest in peace.
