My Deepest Sympathies to all who mourn the passing of Br Finbarr. I knew him to see as he was a familiar face to me, in his comings and goings to the Church etc and i had a few nice encounters/chats with him, in the course of my occupation. I stand back in humble admiration of Br Finbarr -He lived a long life, unwaveringly selfless and dedicated to the welfare of others and so obviously is held in high esteem by all who benefitted from his influence.his friendship and gentle presence on their journeying, his teaching and his involvement in Scouts, Musical/ Talent pursuits etc etc.

Eternal Rest, Grant unto his Gentle Soul. May Perpetual Light shine upon him. Amen.

Very sorry to hear of Br. Finbarr's passing,a true La Sallian in every way. My sincere condolences to his fellow confreres,extended family and former colleagues. As fellow Duhallow men,we always had good chats when we met and he was very accommodating any time I visited St. Declans. Leaba i measc na Naoimh don Br. Fionbarra anois.

For the many hundreds of people,whose lives were touched and influenced by Br. Finbarr,his passing is a sad occasion.As a teacher,he taught more than the subject-he gently guided,directed and both lived and taught the values of De La Salle.Whether in the classroom,on the corridors,in the school yard,always watchful and helpful.He did have great belief in The (CORK) Examiner,in its news and its sports reports-especially Gaelic football. To his extended family we offer our sincere sympathy.May he rest in peace.

I grew up in Stephen street and Br Finbarr made us all welcome to come & play in the school yard. We often visited his garden, where he'd show us his plants & flowers. we'd play football in the field at the back of the school. I often visited the kitchen & met Agnes & Br Finbarr when I was collecting their two dogs for a walk.
Such happy memories of a very gentle soul.

Farewell my dear friend and mentor. Some day we will meet again. Until then, rest in peace. May the angels guide you safely home,

My sincere condolences to all Br. Finbarrs family and friends and to everyone in Miguel House who looked after him so well. I used to meet Finbarr on my walk with my little dog, and Finbarr always said 'I saw the dog but didn't see you' to which I would reply there's a big difference in the size of me and the dog. He was a jolly little man and so pleasant to to meet and chat to. May you now rest in peace Finbarr, after a life well lived.

We first met Br Finbarr after coming to Waterford back in the late 60s and he, Dick Doyle and Jim Ryan of the De La Salle “Tops of the Town” fundraising Committee asking me to organise a Waterford Banks and Finance Variety Show, to enter into the “ Tops “ which I did.

We had wonderful years participating in that competition for many years later as a result.

He was a wonderful guy and a total gentleman. He is now reunited with his great friends Dick and Jim in Heaven, no doubt organising a new “Tops Show “ up there.

May he Rest in Peace.
