A CO Tyrone man who died after a crash on the way to Sunday's Ulster championship semi-final has been described as "one of life's gentlemen".
Cyril McGhee (78) was driving a white Suzuki Celerion car which left the road near Tempo in Co Fermanagh and struck a tree.
The unmarried pensioner, from Clady near Strabane, was taken to hospital following the crash at Gardiners Cross Road but died a short time later.
His two passengers, married couple Francie and Bernie McCorkell, were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The tragedy happened shortly after midday on Sunday while they were driving to the match between Tyrone and Cavan at Clones.
People living nearby said the single-vehicle crash was on a difficult bend during rainy conditions.
A post-mortem is due to be carried out to establish the exact cause of death.
Sinn Féin councillor Maolíosa McHugh, who knew Mr McGhee, expressed his condolences. "Cyril was just one of life's gentlemen. Everyone would have known him as a very quiet and honest man in every respect," he said.
"He was interested in his own community and the development of his own village. He would have attended community meetings and things like that – it's such a loss."
Mr McGhee was fondly known in local drama circles for his performances over the years, as well as being a keen gardener and GAA fan.
Urney St Columba's GAA club said on Monday that Ms McCorkell was still in hospital and wished her a speedy recovery.
In a tribute to Mr McGhee on its Facebook page, it posted a picture of him wearing his Urney club colours.
"Cyril was a true Gael and devoted much of his free time to helping his club, community and parish," it said.
"The image of him smiling contently after Urney beating league leaders Moy along with other fond memories will stay with many. He will be sorely missed by everyone in the club."
The club also invited the community to a meeting last night to discuss wake and funeral arrangements.
Cyril McGhee was filmed as part of Border Lives, a storytelling project capturing people’s experiences along the border during the Troubles.
In one clip Mr McGhee told the story of a bible being given to a checkpoint soldier.
“This soldier was looking for spiritual comfort and he got it from our parish priest," he said.
Sarah Bryden, who was involved in the project, said: "One of our reasons for doing this project was to capture stories from these generations before they were lost when people passed on. I'm so glad we had Cyril involved, he was gentlemen and a good storyteller."
Diversions were put in place between the Tempo Road junction and Snowhill Road junction following the crash on Sunday afternoon, but were removed several hours later. Inspector Keir Kitt appealed for any witnesses to contact police on 101.
