Robert Marsh RIP.
The death occurred peacefully on Sunday 12th July at the Mater Private Hospital Dublin of Robert Marsh Romar Erris Street Crossmolina Funeral Mass on Tuesday in St Tiernans church with burial afterwards in Crossmolina cemetery. Robert was predeceased by his brother Paddy, and sister Mary Deeply regretted by his loving family, wife Hilary, daughter Elaine, son Rodney and their partners Jennifer and Brian, his much adored grandson Harry, brother-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces and friends. Due to the HSE guidelines, Robert’s Funeral was private to family members only. The family would like to thank you for your co-operation and consideration at this difficult time. Robert was an outstanding sports man who played Gaelic football for many years with Crossmolina Deel-Rovers GAA. With no underage teams in Crossmolina in his youth, he played for Belmullet minor team in 1959. With the pick of North Mayo they won a North Medal and were unlucky not to win the county title loosing out to Carras in the final. Robert had better luck in 1961 when Crossmolina won the North Mayo Junior title defeating Belmullet 3 – 5 to 2 – 3, once again a county medal eluded Robert loosing out to Garrymore by 3 – 7 to 1 – 8. In 1962 Crossmolina got the better of Belmullet to claim the North Mayo Title and followed it up by going all the way with a narrow one point win over the Neale in the County final 0– 8 to 1 – 5. Injuries and work commitments cut short a playing career. Robert was elected Secretary of the Deel-Rovers in 1967 and continued until 1973 when he took up the position of Treasurer up to 1991. Robert continued to support and lend his assistance whenever called upon and was awarded Club man of the year in 1984 and Hall of Fame recipient in 2013. Robert also played badminton for many years winning many County titles.
Golf was another great hobby of his and he enjoyed many great days playing in Ballina, Enniscrone and all over Connacht. May he rest in peace.
