        Steve Gleeson: icon of business and sport in Limerick region

        One of the best known sporting and business personality in Limerick City and county, Stephen Gleeson, was laid to rest this Wednesday. Owner and founder of Gleeson Sports Scene, William Street, Limerick, 72 year old Stephen was the youngest man ever to referee an All-Ireland senior hurling final. When he was aged 27, he had the distinction of taking charge of the final between Waterford and Kilkenny. It was 1957. A native of Fedamore he refereed several Munster Finals and was active on the domestic scene. After attending his local primary school in Fedamore, Stephen became a border at Freshford Secondary School, Kilkenny, which nurtured his love of gaelic games. Sport and business ran through his veins, as his dad, Stephen, was and All-Ireland doubles handball champion. He won the title with JJ Bowles. The Gleeson Family ran the Post Office in Fedamore and Stephen's brother, Richard, is continuing that family tradition by running the present day facility. He was also associated with the greyhound industry, both as a trainer and an owner, and was a former member of Bord na gCon; he was on the executive of the Irish Coursing Club. He had the distinction of nominating the winner of the Irish Cup back in 1980. The late Mr Gleeson founded the firm of Gleeson Sports Scene in William Street, 26 years ago. It is now managed by his sons, Stephen and Roland and daughter Tracey. Stephen's remaining son, Alan runs a very successful hairdressing supply business. The late Mr Gleeson lived in Castletroy, and was also a very avid golfer, playing off a generous 18 handicap. Predeceased by his wife, Eileen, he is survived by his partner, Alice, family and a large circle of friends. His popularity and that of his family was again shown by the huge numbers of mourners at his removal from Milford Hospice, and at the funeral to Kilmurry Cemetery.
