Sympathy is also extended to Charlie’s sister May McLaughlin (Quigley’s Point), Dan and Vincent (Scotland) and Willie (Dublin) and to all his brother and sister in laws, nieces and nephews, cousins and to his friends. Charlie was predeceased by his parents and brothers Joe and John. Charlie was an active member of the Irish Farmers Association and represented the IFA at a local and national level. Charlie was awarded Life Honorary membership of the association in 2002 for his loyal service. IFA members formed a guard of honour at the funeral as a mark of respect. Charlie was also involved on various committee including the Inishowen Co-operative Society, Donegal Creameries and Inishleigh Mil. Charlie was a valued member of the local community and always attended community events. The large attendance at his funeral reflected the high esteem in which he was held. A special thanks to Fr Farren for the lovely moving Requiem Mass and for his continued support to the family. Thanks also to the Brogan family who provided the music at the funeral mass and to Charlie’s nephews and nieces for reading. The Rutherford family circle wish to express their heartfelt thanks to all who supported and sympathised with us and who sent Mass cards and letters of sympathy, floral tributes, called to the family home, travelled to be with us, brought food, helped over the wake and attended the funeral, grave diggers and alter servers. Thanks also to Inishowen Funeral Services for the professional manner in which they carried out the funeral arrangements. It is so comforting to know that we live in such a helpful and caring community surrounded by family and friends and neighbours. Charlie’s month’s mind mass will be celebrated on Friday, April 11 at 7.30 in St Patrick’s Church, Iskaheen, Muff.
