Well-known charity fundraiser dies on holiday (The Irish News) By Marie Louise McCrory 12/01/08 A well-known Co Down man has died suddenly while on a family holiday in Spain. Peter Magee, from Burren in Warrenpoint, died in hospital in Torrevieja near Alicante on the evening of Thursday January 3. The remains of the 83-year-old, who was well-known for his charity fundraising efforts, have now been flown home to Ireland. Mr Magee, who had been pre-deceased by his wife Mena, helped raise funds for a number of charities, among them The Diocesan House of Prayer in Essex. The prayer house was set up by his friend, Sister Annie McAvoy, in Abbotswick, Brentwood and Mr Magee organised events to help raise money for the initiative. SDLP assembly member PJ Bradley, a neighbour and friend, said Mr Magee had enjoyed life to the full and that he would be sadly missed. Requiem Mass will be celebrated at 12 noon today in St Mary’s Church, Burren.
