....the sad winds of death are still blowing shock and sad tidings....Mickie Guthrie R.I.P. was a dear boyhood friend we grew up in the bonds of mchale road friends ..but more friendship....in our very early years he brother Tom. ...the Keane brothers paddy moylette....we would get tin cans and a stick and imagine we were McNamara band as we marched down the back road....on Sunday evenings we would light a fire try and nick a few potatoes and roast them or boil them on our back road fire...later we drank together. In 1960 I returned from Canada on a visit...i had a stack of Hawaiian shirts...Mickie wanted one so I brought it to the bar at the travellers friend. ..on the condition he would sing ..return to me. ...Mickie changed into it right away. ..paddy Jennings cracked up. .and Mickie belted out ....return to me. ..eat your heart out dean martin ....the tides of life separated us ..but the bonds of friendship were well cultivated. ..Mickie was a member of mchale road royalty for the Guthrie's were oak trees of the town..they were what made us who love mchale road...genuine auld stock.....to his family I share in your grief and extend my deepest and sincerest sympathy...shock makes us so aware of our own mortality..Mickie rest in peace my friend......the dark shroud continues to umbrella mchale road.
