Alec TYRRELL

We are so sorry about Alec's passing, so soon after Sheila's. They are together again now with Aidan. They can take comfort that Leon Julie and Colm have each other now and that they are strong together.

I only got to know Alec from our time playing chess together but he was someone I had a great deal of respect for him and immensely enjoyed his wit and humour. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends at this difficult time.R.I.P.

Alec and I first met in November 1982 over the board in a chess match where he came out on top. It was many years later that I next met him in Ardgillen while we both watched the Rás. I had expected to build on our shared interests, but, sadly, this is not to be. I played over our game in memory of him, and thought of his family who now will endure time in the valley. RIP.

There are no words so desperately sad. Alec was a wonderful husband and dad.

So so sorry to hear of Alec's passing.
My thoughts are with you all.

Alec's legacy.
Reunited with your beloved wife and son. Mourned by those you left behind. Love and prayers to all of his family.

The dash
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
From the beginning...to the end

He noted that first came the date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time
That they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
Know what that little line is worth

For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars...the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering this special dash
Might only last a little while

So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent YOUR dash?

Never, met Alec, wish I had. Work colleague. Rest peacefully and love to your family.

My sincere condolences ,A very genuine person to know and work with
May he rest in peace
