Armagh GAA are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our longest serving and much cherished volunteers, Sean McCann.
Armagh GAA chairman Paul McArdle has commented by saying
“It was with immense shock and sadness that we learned late yesterday of the passing of Sean McCann. Sean was above all a truly valued member of the Armagh GAA family. His achievements within our association were wide and memorable, from winning a Hogan Cup medal, being awarded the Gardam Gaeilge President’s Award to fulfilling the roles of Irish Officer and Children’s Officer. However, we will all remember Sean as the voice of the Box-IT Athletic Grounds. His attention to detail and skilled delivery made him known by gaels across Ulster and beyond, as did his love and promotion of our native language and culture.
We offer condolences to Sean’s wife Bernardine, sons John Michael and Martin, and the wider family circle.
Sean, the dedicated volunteers of Armagh GAA will miss you greatly and I as Chairperson will miss your support and friendship. Mairfidh sé i gcuimhne Gaeil Ard Mhacha go deo.”
We keep Sean’s wife, Bernardine, his sons, John Michael and Martin and his whole family circle in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
