Townies will no doubt miss hearing his famous ‘Are ya wide Sham’ greeting, however, their memories of the late Tom O’Brien, one of Longford town’s favourite sons, will live with them forever.
A cloud of enormous sadness descended over the town Tom loved so well when news of his death, following a brave battle against cancer, broke yesterday, Thursday, May 6.
An immensely proud dyed-in-the wool townie, postman Tom was renowned for putting a smile on everyone s face and many people are heartbroken following his passing, but most especially his family, wife Kathleen, children Daire, Niamh and Diarmuid, sisters Ailish Smyth (Granard), Joanne (Carlow) and Christine; brothers Donal (Dublin), Padraic (Longford Leader) and Benny; and a vast circle of friends.

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT), is asking bikers to tackle a route of at least sixty miles in May and September, the months when it would normally be welcoming them in person to its much-loved motorcycle events. EHAAT normally holds two motorcycle runs – in May to North Weald and in September to Harwich – but these have both again been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
