Vancouver ISSC mournes Alex Point loss The Vancouver ISSC wishes to express their condolences to the family of the late Alex Point, father to Germaine Gibbons and father-in-law to former ISSC player Liam Gibbons (son of the late Tom Gibbons-Kilkenny) at their loss. We pass on our deep sorrow to Rita (Belfast) at this time also. Both Rita and Alex were in attendance at the ISSC’s 35th anniversary as a club a few years back. Germaine and Liam’s generosity over the years included the purchase of Gaelic football jerseys for both of the ISSC mens and ladies teams a few years ago. The ISSC will always remain appreciative of their long time support for Gaelic games in Western Canada. Alex A. Point Alex A.
