The community of Gorey is in mourning following the untimely and unexpected passing of Nicky Stafford (58), Chairman of Naomh Eanna GAA club.
Some of the first people to express condolences to the Stafford family were those in the sporting community, all recalling fond memories of Nicky both on and off the pitch.
A builder by trade, Nicky was a proud all-rounder who got involved in as many things as he could, wanting to enjoy life to the full.
Speaking to Nicky s son Conor, he said he will always remember his father for his patience. My dad was straight as a dye and he was just the best father, grandfather, husband and friend. He loved the whole community here in Gorey and he doted on his grandchildren.
