RIP Harry
It is with sadness that the family of Harry O'Neill announce that he passed away peacefully on 1st February 2018 aged 89 years.
Harry really enjoyed being a part of the Write Out Loud community and it became a big focus for him in the last few years. He was so enthusiastic about the possibilities the online poetry community offered. He looked forward to reading the work of others and he really valued the comments his poems received from his fellow poets. Thank you for the pleasure your community gave him.
Funeral arrangements as follows:
9.30am Monday 12th February 2018
Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church
Walton Vale
Liverpool L9 2DG
Fellow poets welcome!

This is indeed very sad news. Peculiarly, i was only thinking that Harry had been awol on WOL for a time and half suspected it was his health that had forced him off the blog.
I never met him, but like so many of here felt I knew him as a gentleman and positive force for good poetry always with a considered comment here and there.
Rip Harry (I hope you were right all along) from a man happy to call you a friend.
