JACKIE LANGAN

The greyhound racing community was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Jackie Langan, Urney, Co. Tyrone.

A highly respected and popular figure throughout the North-West, Jackie was a familiar face at Lifford Greyhound Stadium, where he served as a track steward for over two decades. A passionate supporter of the sport, he was a regular patron at his local track and also enjoyed success at the end of the lead, sending out numerous winners, many of whom raced under the ‘Tonpat’ prefix.

Beyond greyhound racing, Jackie had a lifelong association with the GAA and was a devoted member of his local club in Urney. His commitment to the community and sporting life of the area is a legacy that continues through his children and grandchildren. Jackie will be fondly remembered by all who knew him and his presence will be greatly missed throughout the wider local community.

Sincere condolences are extended to his family and friends at this sad time.
