Dermot O'NEILL

Dear Carol, Louise and all the family. It was with great sadness that I read of the death of Dermot.
You may not remember me but I stayed in your home 1975-1976 when I first moved to Dublin to work. It was a home away from home for me and I remember Dermot even then was sowing his own seeds and growing plants. I would say he instilled a love of gardening in me that has never left me. A wonderful legacy. May you be sustained by the memories of all the people who were inspired by him. May he be at peace.

Deepest sympathy to all of Dermot's family. It was my pleasure to meet him at our Garden Festival in St Senan's School Enniscorthy. He spoke about beauty of roses.
All proceeds from that fundraiser helped towards creating a beautiful sensory garden for all children in school.
Rest in peace Dermot.

Sincere condolences on your loss.Loved watching Dermot's programmes.May he rest in eternal peace.

Deepest sympathy to all of the O'Nell family on your very sad loss. May Dermot Rest In Peace. He will surely live on in all of the beautiful plants he tended so well. He really was such a gentleman, generous with his vast knowledge and so inspirational to all of us who are interested in growing plants and tending gardens. He will never be forgotten.

Met Dermot in Adelaides in Terenure, both gone, both fanatical gardener's, such wonderful gentle company,

Sincere sympathy to the O'Neill Family and extended Families on the passing of Dermot. We loved watching Dermot on T.V. since he first appeared on Live at Three, to his amazing restoration of his Clondeglass Garden. His presentation made it easy for Amateur Gardeners to learn. Dermot was a true professional and a gentleman. May he rest in peace in another beautiful space.

A sad loss to all people Dermot was a lovely man and a wonderful imparter of his knowledge he encouraged you I had the pleasure of knowing him when we were teenagers and he came to our house my parents loved him as they were keen gardeners and he was only 14 with a huge array of
Knowledge even at such a young age. May he rest in peace

Rest in peace Dermot a pure gem

My Sympathy to Carol and Louise on the sudden death of your brother Dermot, R.I.P.
I first met Dermot many years ago as a young man trying to become established in his profession,when I worked with his late Aunt Nora in Dublin.
He would often join us for lunch in The Royal Dublin Hotel and entertain us with much fun and laughter for the duration with his lovely stories regarding his gardening/horticultural exploits.
Rest in peace Dermot in your Heavenly Garden amongst the scented Roses with your Grandparents, Parents, Maura and Peter, and your beautiful Aunt Nora, R.I.P.

May the breeze of heaven whisper gently in your ear Dermot Rip

With sincere sympathy. A true gentleman who will be greatly missed.

Sincere sympathy to Carol, Louise and extended O'Neill family following the death of Dermot. May He Rest In Peace.

Sincere sympathy to Dermots, family and friends. I'm so sorry.
I loved watching him on TV over the years. A sad loss ro the horticultural community. I learned alot by listening to.him
His like will not be seen again.

Loved listening to your beautiful voice Dermot. May you now rest easy in Heaven's Garden. RIP.

So sorry to hear of Dermot's passing. I have the happiest of memories working in Marlfield garden centre with my sister Colette and Dermot and all the gang back in the day. We were all students. I remember after a long day working on a saturday climbing into Patricia's small car and she gave us a lift home. Dermot was so passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable even as a young teenager. Condolences to his family. Thanks Dermot for all the fun.

My deepest condolences to Louise, Carol and your families on Dermot's passing . May he rest peacefully.

My heart goes out to both Louis and Carol.
It was so sudden it must have been a shock to you.
I did not see much of Dermot but had talked to him only the week before to arrange to see him. He was up beat and having his hair done when I called.
My memory of him has always been him running out into the back garden as soon as we arrived to see show us his collection of cacti. He was so excited and enthusiastic. He was about four or five at the time. Louis, Nico’s son now collects them and I always think of Dermot when he is showing them to me.
May he rest in peace. All my love Siobhan xx

Deeply saddened on the passing of Dermot.
Always a gentleman with a wealth of horticultural knowledge that he willingly shared & inspired many.
Bless him 🕯

My deepest condolences to all Dermot’s family and friends, Dermot was a lovely gentleman I used to meet him a lot out walking he lived not far from me, he was such a kind gentleman we always had a little chat about gardening and things I will miss him out walking. Rest In Peace Dermot. May Heaven hold a place for you where you can dig and plant, flowers of the rarest kind and those of heaven’s scent.

Dermot was a geuinely nice man ... no fuss, no frills, no playing to the camera & then acting the 'celebrity' ... he was the real deal .. good at his profession and a joy to watch on television. He will be missed. He was the gentleman of the Irish Gardening World.

Rest in Peace Dermot, though I have no doubt that you have already begun re-designing a part of The Garden of Heaven!

So sorry to hear Dermot has passed away. He will be greatly missed by many. I loved his programmes . Sincere sympathy to all the O’Neil family at this very sad time. May Dermot Rest In Peace . 🌸

We're so very sorry and sad that Carol and Louise are having to say goodbye to Dermot after such a sudden passing and not long after their Dad and Mam's passing too. I have no doubt their closeness as sisters will help them through this difficult time. Condolences also to Robin, James, Ciara, Jack, Leon and Hannah and little Pearse as well as extended family. We will be with you all online for the funeral service as we are all out of the country tomorrow. May Dermot rest in peace

Our sincere sympathy to all the O’Neill family on Dermot’s sad passing. May his gentle soul Rest In Peace.

Sincere condolences and prayers to all the O'Neill Family from your neighbours at no 16 Springhill Avenue. I remember Dermot, Carol & Louise as we all grew up together on the road. A real gent who always had time to chat and from an early age had a love and a passion for gardening and a front garden that was full of colour all year round. Dermot in the 1970's was even then a young gardening expert and budding entrepreneur, who during the school summer holidays, loved growing and selling plants by regularly going around neighbours doors selling tomatoe plants in yogurt cups from his greenhouse.

Rest in Peace

Patsy , Tony , Michael , Karen & Trish

Will always hold dear Dermot's kindness and generosity when he opened our National Flower Festival in All Hallows College in 2005. Despite having another engagement on that evening he took time to speak with everyone. He was an absolute gentleman and a wonderful plantsman.
Sincere sympathy to his sisters and to all his family.
Rest in Peace.

Rest in heavenly peace 💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀

Dermot will be so missed not only by his friends but by many more he was so generous and kind to. When I started my garden his advice was invaluable and freely given. I regret never have been able to join his horticultural trips which were unanimously praised. Dear Dermot, you are probably now strolling in the Elysean Fields and making them even more beautiful.

So sad to hear of Dermot’s passing. I never met Dermot but loved watching his gardening programmes. He had a way of describing flowers etc. that you could almost smell them. Today I will plant a flower in my garden in memory of Dermot. The gardens will be blooming in heaven 💐 Rest in peace Dermot

What a lovely man. He was amazing what he knew about plants and all to do with Gardening. Loved his programme's I learned so much. May you rest in peace and keep blooming in the Garden of Heaven 💐🌷🥀🌹🌺🌻🌼

Deepest sympathy to all of Dermot's relatives and family. He was a kind and generous advocate for all of us gardeners.

Sincere sympathy to all Dermot's Family. I often thought about Dermot RIP and how he was doing as he hasn't been on television for quite some time. Always loved watching his gardening programmes, wouldn't miss them for anything. He was a fountain of knowledge and encouraged us all to get planting. May Dermot's Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.

I was in class at CBC Monkstown with Dermot and he was a good friend. He was a gentleman who was very popular with his peers. I remember he had a glasshouse in the 1970s with radishes and other vegetables. He made a great impression on us all. May he rest in peace.

Fond memories of dear Dermot and his lovely Dad, Peter when they had the garden centre in Dunlaoghaire. Rest in peace.

We are all so sad to hear the news of Dermot's passing RIP. We have many fond memories of his annual visits to Kelly's Resort Hotel for our Garden Midweeks. Everyone, especially the Guests, loved him. He had his regulars who would come back year on year to listen to his talks. He was a gentleman to the core and a passionate gardener. Our thoughts are with his family and wide circle of friends at this sad time. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
