I write from my retirement home in Ballycastle NI to send my sincere sympathy to Celestines family on their recent loss.
I shared a flat in Eglantine Ave Belfast during my undergraduate years 1965 1967 together with another student John O Neill who also sadly passed away earlier this year. I have tremendous memories of those years sharing with Celestine and John.
I spent 38 in Education in Englandbefore retiring to Ballycastle in 2005.
I would be happy to correspond with any of the familyto share some memories of our time at QUB.
May Celestine rest in peace.
