PHILIP (Sonny, Blackie) NEVILLE 80 New Street, Lismore It’s with profound sorrow that we record the passing of Philip (Blackie) Neville of 80 New Street, Lismore, who passed away unexpectedly at his home on Thursday, 15th May, 2014. Philip was born on the 19th June, 1934, to the late Philip and Catherine Neville. A native of Lismore, he was born and reared in Botany (now New Street) and was very proud to be called a Botany man. In his youth, Philip followed his brothers and sisters to Coventry in England where he worked in the Daimier Factory. He then came back to Lismore to look after his mother and took up employment in Cappoquin Bacon Factory. Philip’s other love was gardening and his passion and knowledge of the garden would be seen in his own home in New Street. Every visitor would admire his garden especially his roses which he was so proud of. Philip loved to play the game of 45 and for a number of years played golf at Lismore Golf Club and darts was another great pastime for him. Through his many illnesses and knocks in life, he always had a smile and joke for everyone especially for those who cared for him. Philip was also a man of deep Christian faith and was a regular collector at Sunday Mass and loved in the last number of years going to Lourdes where he made many friends young and old, and while his passing will be greatly mourned, Philip’s memory will never be forgotten especially in his beloved Botany. Philip lay in repose at Ryan’s Funeral Home, Lismore where Rosary was recited on Monday night. Following prayers recited by Fr. M. Cullinan, P.P., removal took place on Tuesday evening to St. Carthage’s Church, Lismore. Requiem Mass for the happy repose of his soul was offered up on Wednesday morning. Chief celebrant was Fr. M. Cullinan, P.P.The readings were read by his nephew Gary Horgan and cousin Kathleen McNamara. Prayers of the Faithful were offered up by his nieces Marion and Trisha and Paudie Russell. The Offertory procession of the bread and wine were brought to the Lord’s table by his brothers Billy and Bertie. While the singing of John Ryan accompanied by organised Mairead Cullinane was greatly appreciated by all. After Mass the cortege proceeded to the Island Crematorium, Ringaskiddy where after a brief ceremony cremation took place. On Friday morning we gathered in the Parochial Cemetery, Lismore where after prayers recited by Orla Russell, ashes were interred with his late grandfather Philip and sister Nuala. To his loving brothers Billy, Bertie and Henry; sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, relatives and his many friends especially Orla Russell and family we extend our sincere sympathy.

He would do anything for his family and his close friends. He had a great sense of humour; his smile would just brighten up the room. Jamie’s life was cut too short and we still can’t believe he is gone. We are heartbroken at losing our son. Jamie loved his music including 2Pac, Bob Marley and Biggi Smalls.

He was educated in the CBS where he left school at the early age of 16 to take up work at the local Glue Factory and then on to the Leather Factory. On the 5th August, 1953, Johnny married the love of his life Philomena and set up home in Buttery Lane for some years until moving down to No. 11 Boreenatra where they were so happy and reared their three sons and daughter.

The local swimming pool is where you often found him diving with his many friends and also from Abbeyside Bridge on occasions. Johnny was a fireman for many years and gave great service until retiring in 1993 at the tender age of 65.

For those who are sad, and grieving for me There is no need, now that I can see I can hear her voice, she’s at the gate I was on a call, so you had to wait. Then came the moment I’ve waited for Oh! What a sight to see With her polka-dot dress and silver grey hair And a drop and a bottle for me. How are you my love, she said with a smile, You were busy, it took you a while Then she took my hand, and we walked away And forever together we will now stay.
