Cork County wish to convery its sincerest condolences to the family of former committee member and familiar face at the Mardyke, Richard (Dick) Creedon, who passed away suddenly earlier this week. Dick was heavily involved in developing youth cricket at the club over recent years and his son Oliver went on to represent Cork County at all levels. A popular figure in and around the clubhouse, Dick could often be found discussing the fortunes of Manchester United and the achievements of one of his beloved children. He’ll be sadly missed!
Requiem Mass will be held at St. Mary’s Church, Innishannon at 12 noon on Friday. Funeral afterwards to St. James’ Cemetery, Chetwynd. House is in Crossbarry Village and will be signposted.
Full details of his funeral arrangements can be viewed on rip.ie
May he rest in peace. #RIP

Please offer my condolences to Oliver, Richard and Sinead, whom I have not seen in many years, of a time when Richard senior was consultant at Tameside Hospital. My colleagues and I have fond memories of looking after Oliver whilst he did his ward rounds at the weekend.
He and his family will always remain in our hearts,
All our love
Ward 2 and clinic 10 Tameside Hospital, Lancashire, England
(1998)
I first met Dick in Feb ‘91 when I was ahouseman in Beaumont Hospital. I used to sneak into the weekly Orthopedic meetings held at the Mater Hospital in Dublin. He interviewed me for my post as an SHO in Cappagh Orthopedic Hospital in Dublin. He was my Senior Registrar and I learned a lot from him. Sheila was a staff nurse there. I am truly saddened to hear of their premature passing.
