The Gentleman from Rose Inn Street.
Died Saturday 8th February 2025
I first met George about 30 years ago,
Then his wife Violet
And later on his friend called Joe.
This was the man from Rose Inn Street.
He had time and a word for everyone,
that was the character of the man.
We will miss you now George that you are gone.
This was the gentleman from Rose Inn Street.
He bought and sold all kinds of antiques.
Some remained a long time,
Some sold in weeks.
This was the gentleman from Rose Inn Street.
George and Joe set up a shop, business
Known as D&R Antiques.
And now those two gents are gone,
Gone from Rose Inn Street.
He came from Tipperary
He made Kilkenny his Business Home
As they say the rest is history
He’s now gone to his heavenly home
The gentleman from Rose Inn Street
