The death has occurred of Vincent McGloin on the 29th of December 2025, late of Upper Abbey, Ballyshannon & New Jersey, USA.

Deeply regretted by his loving family, brothers, Joe (Breda), Alo (Francis), sisters-in-law Geri(Francis), Dina(Benny), nieces & nephews, grand nieces & nephews.

Predeceased by his brothers Benny, John (Maureen), Francis, sisters Catherine Albury (Joe), Anna Loughlin (Andrew), Mary Slattery (Jack).Nephews John Loughlin, John McGloin. Sisters-in-law Maureen Pettett Mc Gloin, Mary McGovern McGloin.

Sadly missed by his many friends, and neighbours.

Vincent, born into a farming family, spent his younger years as a pupil of De La Salle and working on the farm.

During the summer he enjoyed the salmon fishing on the Erne estuary. He had a great intrest in sport, especially Gaelic football and spoke keenly about the local team Abbey Shamrocks.

In the mid sixties, like many of that era he emigrated to England, traveling on to the USA shortly after that. In the USA he began working with the Local 15 iron workers union, in Hartford, CT, of which he was a proud member for over fifty years. On his retirement he moved from Hartford to New Jersey, and he split his time between there and his home in the Abbey. As an avid reader, he would be seen with his favorite newspapers, and often regaled us with interesting stories from them.

Late in 2025 he was admitted to hospital, and after a short illness he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

May he rest in peace

Interment of his ashes at the Abbey Cemetery, Ballyshannon, on Saturday 18th of April at 3pm.
