Goodbye to Reg

Reg Jinks' funeral service was held at the Sacred Heart Church in Norton Street on Thursday 11 July. The day was gloriously sunny and warm and the church was packed with family and friends.

In the eulogy, Father Roger Kirinich, a member of Reg's family, reminded us just how special he was – a kind, cultivated and very civilised man of great integrity.

Reg was also, said his great friend Trevor Messenger, a free spirit. Trevor read a poem by Seamus Heaney which he had chosen especially for the day, A Kite for Aibhín
