A FORMER SDLP councillor in Coalisland described by many as a ‘true gentleman’ has passed away.
Patrick McGlinchey was one of the town’s best known characters, not only as an elected representative, but as a shop-keeper and through his involvement with the local GAA club and community groups.
He died at Craigavon hospital on Friday.
