There has been much sadness and regret following the death of Robert ‘George’ Little who was born on October 3, 1940. George was the first son to parents Robert James ‘Bob’ Little and Sarah ‘Cissie’ Little (nee Scales) in Newtownards while his father was working there on the railways. His family returned to live at Tyralton, Tempo on the family farm soon after. His brother Sam was born 13 months later, and both attended Carrowkeel School. A third brother Albert was born in 1949. On leaving school, George, fondly known by friends and family as ‘Orgie’, took up employment at John Richardsons Hardware, East Bridge Street, Enniskillen.
