THE O MAHONY SOCIETY

Obituary

Peter Cullen Tynan O Mahony, 69 of Bray, Dublin, Ireland died Dec 5, 2000. Peter Tynan as he was known to most of the membership was the man who took over the O Mahony Society after the death of the founder of the Society, Eoin (The Pope) O Mahony. They were second cousins. Peter started and edited the first of the O Mahony Journals and established a standard of excellence that was a mark of his writing and creative ability. Divergent paths of endeavor and ill health kept Peter from being active in the Society in recent years but due to his work in the Society he was granted a Lifetime Honorary Membership. We were always most pleased to have him join with us at the Gatherings. Peter had many friends in the USA and Europe, as he was always ready to talk about the O Mahony and related Clans. May he rest in peace. Peter leaves his wife Mary, who is well remembered by many of the old timers. We hope to acquire his memoirs one day. Peter will be missed by his friends in the Society.
