Brendan O'Boyle

In the early 80s, the Bank of Ireland would call over to our place of work every Thursday afternoon, with a lorry load of cash.
They would then proceed to construct what would nowadays be referred to as a "pop-up" bank.
And, their timing, as always, would be impeccable ; business would commence just as we were finishing our lunch break.
The banking process was simplicity itself ; they handed out crisp, green, Irish punts, in exchange for a slip of white paper called a cheque. Beats going to college any day!

My earliest recollections of this wondrous bank are of Brendan O'Boyle and Dave Barry "manning the fort"; stamping all our bank forms with a quick word on the local inter-firm GAA scene. And then, a cheerful, "see you again", "see you next time".

I had long since forgotten those far-off, halcyon days, when a bank would actually call out to your workplace, during your extended lunch-break to pay your salary. I had forgotten all that, until I chanced upon the Month's mind photo of a guy called........Brendan O'Boyle. Oh! Must be someone else. But I was wrong.

Sincere condolences then to the family of the man who encashed our very first pay-cheques all those years ago.

"Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal".

Deepest sympathy to all the O'Boyle family on the sad passing of Brendan. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Heartfelt condolences to Marie, Colm and Niamh on the very sad and untimely death of Brendan. Any conversation with Brendan, short or long, always left us in good form. A rare gift and the hallmark of a gentleman! Rest in Peace Brendan.
