A tribute on rip.ie recalled “great memories” of Mr Murnane operating a “local shopping bus for years” and reminisced about a group trip to Ballinspittle, Cork, to see the moving statue, reports Breaking News.
The person continued: “We did more laughing on the bus than praying. Even meeting him in town he would stop for a chat and we would laugh about the good old times. May God rest him, a really lovely man,” reports Breaking News.
