Sincere condolences Deirdre,Caroline and Olivia-so sorry we missed the funeral service-Brendan was a great friend-although slightly younger than me he was a true minder for me both work and personal wise-I’ll miss a lot with Brendan gone even the hour long phone calls we had with himself doing 90% of the talking. Caroline and Olivia he was so proud of both of you and regularly regaled me with information about your success in the business world-we lit candles for all of you in the beautiful church in the square in Nerja yesterday-RIP my friend

Very sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Brendan. I have many fond memories of Brendan and my dad, Flan, as close friends getting into all sorts of mischief and fun for us youngsters to witness over the years.

Deirdre & family, I was very saddened to hear of Brendan’s sudden passing. We worked closely together for many years & became good friends as well as colleagues. He was so popular and well respected throughout
Aer Lingus & the whole travel community. His good humour was infectious, even at difficult moments. We’re all aware of his health challenges in more recent times - but he continued to positively handle these in his own inimitable way.

Where to Start: Deirdre and Family i was so sad to hear of Brendans passing. I got to know him when i joined the Board of DCC.
Always struck me as the real deal...such a sharp mind and wit. And boy could he tell a story to illustrate a point.(.i recall a few regularly )was never afraid to tell it as it is.Only got to say hello a few times in recent years...Always in my head to ring him and call in to see him...but to my regret I didnt ,as he always had great welcome for me.
I am sure you all have Beautiful memories of him to keep ye going.
Brendan...i hope theve good spot up there for you...if not you will make it known in your own inimitable style.
Rest at Last Brendan.

Such sad news to hear about Brendan passing. Deirdre, Caroline and Olivia he will be missed around the Downs so much. Sitting on the wall, relaxing, taking it all in. He always had such great time for us as kids growing up in the area listing to us and telling us a story or two. It's such a heart breaking time at the moment but your fond memories of him will live on forever. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Codladh sámh Brendan.
Very sorry to hear of Brendan’s passing.
Sincere condolences to all the family.

One of the very best.
Ar deis Dé go rain a Anam.
Deepest sympathy to you Deirdre, Caroline & Olivia on the loss of Brendan. He was a true gentleman, may he rest in peace.
We are all devastated by Brendan's passing. He was a fabulous uncle - kind, warm, funny and sometimes up for a good challenge. Growing up, he was the "favourite uncle", whom I always loved to meet. I have so many warm memories, particularly going to the Air Spectaculars in the 80s and 90s. He indulged my childhood interest in cars, as Brendan was the only relative who had new models!

We fondly remember many chats in The Downs with the kids and Antoinette, where Brendan was always interested in how everyone was getting on and where many laughs were had.

He was one of the greats, and many, many people will miss his wit and anecdotes. He had fantastic life experiences and many friends. He fostered a wonderful family, who now have a huge empty space. I know they will support each other, reflecting on how lucky they were to have him - and to have shared life together.

I always was and always will be honored to have him as an uncle. Blue skies Brendan, we'll miss you.
I am so sorry Deirdre, Caroline and Olivia to hear this sad news of Brendan’s sudden passing, he was without doubt a pure gentleman , I can remember well his great Cork wit and accent when I was a neighbour of his in the Downs back in the 80’s and early 90’s, Rest In Peace Brendan 🙏
Olivia and family - we are so sadden to hear of the sudden passing of your dear father! You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you navigate his loss.
My sincere condolences to Deirdre and family on Brendan's sudden sad passing. He was a great colleague to myself and many others back in the Aer Lingus days.
As a raconteur supreme he endlessly brightened our lives.
Rest well Brendan
Sincere condolences to Deirdre and family, and Donal and Breda, on Brendan's sudden passing. May you know the Lord's comfort and help at this difficult time of your sad loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Deepest sympathy to Deirdre, Caroline, Olivia and the extended Cronin family. A great neighbour to us when we lived in number 3 , The Downs. A proper gentleman, may he rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of Brendans sudden passing. Condolences to Deirdre, his daughters and all the Cronin family.
May Brendan rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to Deirdre, Caroline and Olivia on Brendan's passing. I have such fond memories of a kind and supportive colleague at Aer Lingus and of a truly brilliant storyteller - in the office and over many dinners made so memorable by his engaging company. One special memory is when he told me of the meeting in the Peter Owens office when, after many rejected concepts, the agency presented the storyboard, music and all, for what was to be The Mission - a famous piece of Aer Lingus and Irish advertising history. Brendan was a treasure and it was my honour to have known him. Rest in peace Brendan.
Condolences to Deirdre, Caroline, Olivia and the extended Cronin family on the death of Brendan. A gentleman who was a pleasure to have known. May he rest in peace.
To Deirdre and family, so sad to hear the news about Brendan, a great colleague and a wonderful ambassador for Aer Lingus. May he rest in peace.

Deirdre, Olivia and Caroline, I am so sorry that you have lost the wonderful Brendan. May he rest in peace. Always so kind and full of fun, we worked together in London and he was so good to me.

So so sorry to hear of Brendan’s passing, Deirdre. Deepest sympathy to you and the girls. My thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Brendan 🙏🙏

Deirdre, we so are saddened to hear that Brendan has passed away. He was a wonderful mentor, always positive and good humoured. He was much admired by the Irish travel trade and by all who knew him. Sending you, Olivia and Caroline our sincere sympathy at this sad time.
Brendan, I have never thanked you for the great kindness you gave me way back in the 1960’s.
It is with great regret that I never called to say thank you.
I know you will be sadly missed by your family and friends especially you Deidre, Caroline and Olivia, but God will have a place for you in heaven as you had for me back then.
Lord have mercy on you Brendan
