His funeral mass took place at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Roscommon Town, this morning.
Roscommon Gaels GAA Club said it was with “great sadness” that it shared the news of the passing of Mr Cormican. Online condolences can be left here.
“Mickey was a lifelong supporter of our club and gave so much of his time and energy to coaching, sharing his love of hurling with countless young players across many age groups over the years,” the club said. “He was also a proud member of the famous 1974/75 football team, who enjoyed a run of success and brought great pride to the Roscommon Gaels with their victories.
“Beyond the pitch, the Cormican family have been supporters of the club through sponsorship from their family business on Abbey Street ‘Cormicans’, and that tradition of involvement continues today with Mickey’s grandchildren, who are active players in both hurling, camogie, and football.”
It extended its heartfelt condolences at this sad time to Mickey Jo’s family and friends.
