Brother O'Connell left a lasting impression on us all at Nenagh CBS and I'm honoured to have met him during my time there. Whilst the classroom environment understandably tested his patience sometimes I have a distinct memory of his kindness, gentleness and good humour. His passion for hurling was obvious on d sidelines and he cultivated the love of the game in all of us. Thanks for your time and energy Brother O Connell and we have the medals to show for it! A life well lived.

Dear Sean Daniel and Family.Just to let you know that I share in your sadness as you remember your brother. The Brothers at the CBS college in Buenos Aires have asked me to offer 9 Masses for the happy repose of his good and kind soul. Br.Tom O Connell and Br.

So sorry to hear of the death of Brother O'Connell. My sympathy to the O'Connell family and the Community of Christian Brothers. I really only remember him in his retirement, as a regular visitor to the staffroom. We had many a lovely chat. He was a great man to join us on our various social events also. A true gentleman - he made all new teachers feel welcome. I loved the display of flowers in the garden, which changed seamlessly, blending from one season into the next. Fabulous to pass on the way into and out of school.

Deepest sympathies to the O Connell family and the Christian Brother community. Before I met Br O Connell, I probably preferred kicking soccer to picking up a hurl. But we weren't long in 1st year before he had passed that incredible passion
for Hurling onto us. We looked forward to getting out at lunchtime to go hurling under his guidance. Thank you Br O Connell for giving us that passion. You are missed.
