It is with deep regret that we report the sudden passing of Gene Turbett, one of St. Enda’s most well known stalwarts. He died on Monday evening at 10pm.
An integral figure around the club for many years, the popular Gene was a regular sight at our weekly bingo sessions as ‘caller’, before he announced his retirement from the role last September.
The former Melody Aces star’s distinctive voice was also well known not just within St. Enda’s but to many Tyrone fans as he held the role of PA announcer at big games in Healy Park.
Sympathy is extended to the entire Turbett family. Funeral details later.
