The death took place on Wednesday, November 25 at his home in Long Island, USA, of one of the most prominent and popular Laois people of his generation, Bill McEvoy.
A native of Kilcoke, Ballybrophy, Co. Laois, he would have been 98-years old in the coming January.
Though the years had slowed him down physically, he still retained his acute sharpness of mind, the great eye for detail, his gentle humour and the ability to tell a good story right up until the end. A proud Laoisman, his whole life has centred on music, all things Irish and the GAA, especially hurling.
