Aidan O’Kane & Jimmy McMaster

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Aidan O’Kane

Aidan was a friend of many at PRFC, coaching and playing for many years. A larger than life character, simply referred to as ‘Bear’. President of PRFC in 2000-01, Aidan was known by all at the club. In recent years Aidan was our Club Committee Rep at the Ulster Branch, well known and respected throughout the rugby community. Whether it was Minis, Youth or Senior, Aidan could always be seen on the sidelines. Always an encouraging and entertaining voice in the Clubhouse and will be deeply missed.

As a club we send our sincere condolences to Geraldine, Ciaran, Diarmaid and O’Kane family. Coco and Dermy both having played and coached and Coco himself becoming president. A family firmly rooted in the growth of Portadown.

Requiem Mass will take place on Friday Morning (25th Aug) at 10.30am in St.
Colmans Church, Waringstown, Co.
Armagh BT66 7SB.
