A thank you to the people of Roscommon
Dear friends,
I would like to take this opportunity to confirm that I am retiring from my role at Rosmed Pharmacy, located at Golf Links Road, Ballypheasan, Roscommon.
I am taking this measure for practical reasons, i.e. on health grounds, namely open heart surgery and an amputation.
I started out in business in Roscommon town in 1987 when I assumed ownership of Guerin’s Pharmacy in Castle Street.
It has been my great privilege and pleasure to have served the community as a pharmacist in the years since.
In relation to the health issues that have led to my decision to retire, I want to extend my deepest thanks to and admiration for the standard of care afforded me by all the staff of UCHG during my heart surgery and amputation. One could simply not pay the nursing staff enough for their care and compassion!
The staff of the dialysis unit in No 7 Merlin Park Hospital, and the staff of Merlin (Unit) 4 also deserve credit and immense thanks and gratitude for their continuing care for all their patients. They do amazing work and should get due recognition for this.
Staff and public
As I announce my retirement, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all my co-workers over the years. My thanks to each and every one of them for their professionalism, courtesy and friendship.
In particular, I would like to thank my co-worker Marie Kelly, who has remained a loyal friend and support over the years, standing by me through thick and thin.
I also wish to take this opportunity to thank all the people who were loyal to me and my co-workers over the years, going back to 1987 and ever since. Your support and loyalty is much appreciated and will never be forgotten.
Finally, it with regret that I take this decision to retire from Rosmed, but the time to do so has come! However, I will still be available for consultation, on 087 9683287.
In the meantime, my thanks again to everyone for their support, and very best wishes to all my friends in Roscommon.
Signed: Charlie O’Brien
