Obituary – Mr Sammy Thompson

I Just had the sad news over the weekend that Sammy Thompson from Bushmills had passed away, just a few short weeks after the passing of his wife Edith. Sammy was a very highly respected member of the fancy and served the members for many years in the various Committees of the sport. He was the man for the meeting’s, and I remember him from away back, I travelled with him many times over the years starting out at the time when the late Davy Campbell and Anthony McDonnell were prominent members. In recent years he had retired but still attended the odd meeting, he knew the rules and procedures, in great detail. He was a Live Vice-President in the Irish National Flying Club, a Vice President and Patron of the Mighty NIPA and in the RPRA (Irish Region) also a Life Vice-President having served at the Irish Region for many years and in recent seasons had stood down as one of the two local RPRA Councillors which probably gave him, the greatest enjoyment. We had some time with him at the Blackpool Show of the Year in 2017 when Rosie and my-self were guests of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association. Sammy just lived for the pigeons, especially the meetings where he had a good head for problem solving. On behalf of the whole fancy in Ireland, and members of the INFC, NIPA and RPRA (Irish Region) we send sincere condolences to the entire family circle at what had been a very-sad time. Willie Reynolds HOMER.
