Cyril will be missed by all the Tighe family and extended family. He was an amazing man. RIP Cyril

Condolences to Cyril's family on their sad loss. Another song that Cyril sang was "Bantry Bay". We watched his funeral Mass this afternoon on the internet. No doubt, if more people were permitted to attend, the Church would have been packed. May he rest in peace.

Both of us were officers of United Arts Club and Cyril attention to detail as Honorary Secretary was remarkable but when the meeting was over a glass of red was had in friendship.
Cyril to me was an outstanding member who while he devoted his time to the stewardship of the club also supported the young members by buying art and attending poetry evenings or music events
A true friend to me and a person I trusted and it was reciprocal.

A true gentleman. I have many happy memories of Cyril playing with him in both Pembroke and Monkstown. He will always be with us in spirit.

Dear Cyril, I'll miss you from the wall and from the bar in Pembroke, also from RCSI and popping up at operas. Always hospitable, cheerful and optimistic. You were the first president to invite me to a club cricket dinner in 1970. Condolences to your family and to Pembroke. Rest in peace.
