Brendan Henderson

I was greatly saddened to hear of Brendan’s passing yesterday. I had the great pleasure of working with Brendan during my involvement in the Dun Laoghaire Chamber in the early 2000’s. Brendan was an absolute gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He had a great sense of humour , was always in good spirits and brightened up a room with his presence. He was a lovely man and will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

May Brendan rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to the Henderson family on the death of Brendan. We have happy memories of growing up on Ardeevin road. May Brendan rest in peace.

My sincere sympathies to Terry , Clare and all the family of the death of Brendan. He made a wonderful contribution to his community. We always enjoyed a friendly debate. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

So very sorry to hear about dear Brendan, a cousin of my mother's (Eithne). My sincere condolences to all the family. I have very fond memories of a true gentleman and wonderful storyteller and poet. He kept in touch long after I moved to Australia. He will be missed.

Brendan was a longstanding and respected member of Fine Gael, serving a term as Cathaoirleach (Chairman) of Dun Laoghaire Borough Council.

We offer our sincere condolences to the Henderson family at this sad time.

Sorry to hear of death of Brendan. I remember that he was one of the collectors at Dalkey Catholic Church. A very good man, that I was glad to have known. Tony Murphy

Brendan was a lovely neighbour, the kindest man you could ever meet. He was so welcoming when we first moved to live across the road. He always had a smile on his face. He was so generous regularly bringing us apples from his tree in the garden and collecting acorns to give to the kids or a poem for us. He always had a story to tell about his tennis days or growing up in Dalkey. Our deepest sympathy to Terry and the family.

We were sad to learn of Brendan’s death and send our deepest sympathies to Terry, Clare, Mary, John and his brothers Pat and Ferghil. We knew Brendan over the years, particularly In Sandycove LTC and later in his political career. He was someone who had a high degree of commitment to his many causes and interests. He will be greatly missed, by his family, and by his many friends, tennis partners and colleagues. RIP Brendan.

It was very sad news hearing that Brendan had died. We were at school together. For about 25/30 years Brendan kept me informed about school events. I live in London so he kept me in the loop. I last spoke to him by phone about 3 years ago.

Brendan was a dyed in the wool member of Sandycove Tennis Club where he was, proudly, the "Father Of The House" and to which he contributed hugely since the 1950s. His recall of matches was legendary and he will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to Terry and Family on the death of Brendan. My first memory of Brendan in Sandycove Tennis Club 70 odd years ago was his delight to be playing in wet weather conditions-his serve was seldom if ever returned. It was always a delight to be in his company.

We were all very sad to hear that Brendan had left us and send our heartfelt sympathy to Terry and the family. He was very involved with the formation of the council in the early days and continued to take an interest and give advice whenever the need arose. A true community man who was held in very high regard by all in Dalkey.
