The town of Dungarvan was plunged into deep sadness and shock when word broke last Sunday night and Monday morning that one of its greatest and most popular characters, Michael Wright of Congress Villas was knocked down and fatally injured while out walking his dog around the roads he loved so well.
The Mad Hatter’s many friends, relations and colleagues, young and old in association and in support with his family have been numbed and silenced with grief and finding it difficult to come to terms with the loss of such a lively character who enhanced our lives by his warm presence and jovial company among us.
Certainly, Michael was one of the great characters of the town in this era and the Dungarvan club expresses its deep sympathy to Teresa and family and this unbelievably sad time in their lives.
Clubs and associations in the town have been invited to form a guard of honour from Drohan’s Funeral Home to the Parish chapel on Saturday morning for Michael’s church ceremonies and any of our own members young and old who would like to take part are requested to gather at 10am in club colours.
