Dara Neeson

 

Dara had many endearing qualities, he was kind, thoughtful and loyal. You could always depend on him. I'll always remember his enthusiasm for life. He was also an ambitious young man. On leaving school he harassed Moffat engineering so much they took him. He later completed a course on welding so that he could earn enough to buy his first car.

Like a lot of his contemporaries, he was keenly interested in things mechanical. He could be found, along with his pals, on many an evening with his head stuck under the bonnet of a car. He succeeded in acquiring his first car, on which he lavished a lot of tender loving care. He also had a great passion for motorcycling. He attended motorcar rallies and biking meets regularly. Everywhere he went, he was accompanied by his childhood sweetheart, Helena. They were inseparable. They had made plans to be married.

He was returning from Mondello with his biker pals when he was taken from us at the tender age of Twenty Six. He is still sorely missed by his family and large circle of friends.
