Let us pray to a wonderful husband and father who dedicated his whole life to his family and to 'Ginty's he was known to all his friends and workmates.
During his working life Ginty was a dedicated servant to his employers,turning up each day ready to give of his best at all times. He was very popular and highly respected by all his workmates and a feature that will always dwell in their minds was his humerous little dig he would have with his mates.
 His interests in life were heavily favoured towards sport, among these being his participation in rowing and rugby in his younger years, and his skills as an active bowler with his clubmates. He shared these interests with his family who now themselves find the same enjoyment as he did.
  Right up to his last moments of consciousness he was still asking "who's kicking and what's the score"?
       Even after his official working life had ended that wasn't enough for Ginty. He found he had time on his hands which he wanted to utilise in some fulfilling way so he joined the Churton School Staff and became part of the establishment.
   Once again he displayed his dedication to his work by being the first to arrive every morning, winter and summer,and have the school ready for another days operation. He was respected and loved by all the children and was like a Grandad to them all.  On his resignation from his work with the school the School Committee knew they had lost a very important part of the school and a friend.
  During his later life he shared  this fully with his wife , under taking his share of the chores within the family home. They were such familiar figures together as they moved about our local community.
  He will be greatly missed by us all and we offer our sincere sympathy to Frances and her family.
   God bless him.
