Dr, Eoin Grogan

Dear Helen, Connor, and Niall. Deepest sympathy on your great loss. Eoin was one of a kind, urbane, kind, great fun, and irreverent, as well as being a terrific archaeologist and teacher. Gone too soon.

I had the greatest honor of knowing Eoin as a professor, but more importantly as a source of inspiration, wisdom, and poetic whimsy. He taught with his warmth and kindness forward and always had a way of showing the simple truths hidden within the complex questions.

Deepest condolences to the Grogan family, the loss of his presence and intellect cannot be overstated.

My condolences to Eoin's family and friends on this very sad loss. I knew Eoin for a few years at the end of high school - he was an intelligent, caring, and charismatic person who proved to be a kind and generous friend to others emerging less easily into the adult world. I feel sure that Eoin was equally thoughtful and helpful to people in personal and professional life over the decades. My memories of Eoin will always be appreciative and happy ones; I regret never finding the opportunity to renew an old and special friendship.

So saddened to read about the passing of Eoin. Thinking of you Helen at this difficult time of sadness and loss.
May he rest in peace.

Helen, Connor, Niall and extended family, please accept our deepest sympathy from Eamon and myself on the death of Eoin. He was a friend and colleague. May he Rest in Peace!

Helen, i was so sorry to read about Eoin's passing today. I send my best wishes to you and all his family at this difficult time. Maybe you would get in touch when you feel up to it.

I had Dr. Grogan as a professor during my study abroad program in ireland. I loved his classes and the program so much that I decided to return to Ireland to do my masters degree. Today I am the director of a museum because of his mentorship. I was truly saddended to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful person.

I was really saddened to hear of Eoin's passing. He was such a kind, lovely man and such a good mentor - always generous with his knowledge. A true gentleman. Sincere condolences to Helen, Connor, Niall and all his family and friends. May Eoin rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Helen and family. So sorry to hear of the passing of Eoin. He was a true gentleman and lovely person.

Dear Helen, Connor & Niall,
It was a wonderful emotional experience to be present today as you said farewell to your much loved husband & father. Eoin was a very special human being, highly talented but above all a warm hearted person who was obviously greatly loved by you Helen & his boys.
May he rest in peace & you all have strength to cope with the days ahead as you grieve for Eoin who left this world far too soon.

Helen I am so, so very sorry. Eoin wasn't just great company, he was kind and supportive and infinitely generous with his knowledge, a great loss...you take good care of yourself...I will be thinking of you. Joanna

Dear Helen and all Eoin’s family, my sincere condolences. Eoin will be sorely missed by all.

Devastated to hear such sad news. Eoin was someone who once you met you wished you could be bit more like. A gentle, kind and wise man. So sorry for your loss, Helen, Connor, Niall and all the family.

Rest in peace Eoin. Flooded with wonderful memories of UCD, field trips to Tievebulliagh, excavations in Mooghaun. A brilliant, beautiful mind, a great, insightful, innovative archaeologist, always encouraging but above all else kind. Deepest condolences to Helen and all the family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Thank you Eoin, it was a pleasure to know you. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.

Dear Helen,
So very sorry to hear of Eoin's passing. I thought of him often in the last years and the creative and fun times we spent in the Archaeology Lab working for George Eogan. Fond memories to cherish.
With Eric we send you and Eoin's family our heartfelt condolences.

Eoin was my first instructor at Maynooth. Coming from the US, it was odd for me to call an instructor by the first name. My interactions with him extended beyond the classroom as we would have conversations that saw me nearly late for other classes. His kindness and insight will always be treasured. I was due to only be at Maynooth for a semester, but Eoin and Mary were the reason I extended my stay to finish the Irish Cultural Heritage course. I even returned after I graduated to speak with Eoin, who kindly invited me to join the current classes on upcoming field trips. Will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Mo chomhbhrón ó chroí libh ar bhás Eoin. Scoláire séimh uasal álainn. Leabaidh i measc na Naomh go raibh aige. My deepest sympathies to Helen, Connor, Niall, and all the Grogan family and extended family at this sad time. May he rest in peace.

Dear Helen
I add my message of deepest sympathy to the many others you have received. Eoin always impressed in his engaging way. He was a very thoughtful, helpful and clever archaeologist.
My sincere condolences to you and to his family.
May he rest in peace

Sending love to our good friend Bairbre and all the Grogan family. We watched the Iive stream this morning from Newgrange, which was so reflective of our ancient respect for death and new beginnings borne out by the winter sun shining into the Neolithic burial chamber. When the narrator made a warm reference to Eoin as a dear colleague who had just passed, it had a poignant symbolism that perhaps he had aligned himself to a very special time to which he had dedicated his life’s work. May he rest in eternal peace.

Dear Helen, Connor and Niall and family, I am very sad to hear of the passing of Eoin. He is such a well-known name in the archaeological world. I remember his distinct chuckling laugh, and his calm voice. And indeed his scarf. He was project director of the Lake Settlement Project of the Discovery Programme at the time in 2001 when I applied for a job at this project. So basically he was my boss at that time, and I am grateful. My deepest condoleances to you all, may Eoin rest in peace.

Eoin taught me briefly in Maynooth. A true gentleman, and a captivating teacher. I took his class as an elective and fell in love with the subject.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Eoin's passing. I have such fond memories of him from Dublin and from summers at Mooghaun in Clare. Eoin was always warm, kind and brilliantly insightful. He will be greatly missed.
Sincere condolences to Helen, Connor, Niall, and all his family and friends.

Sincere sympathy to you Helen and The Grogan Family. Many fond memories of times spent together after time spent on various digs down through the years. So very sorry for your devastating loss.

My deepest sympathies to Helen and family on the sad passing of Eoin. He was a wonderful archaeologist, scholar and friend who was always generous with his time and advice. A man of great humour and good company, he will be sadly missed by all in the wider archaeological community. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilís.

Deepest condolences to all in the Grogan family on Eoin's loss.
Dr Grogan was a fantastic scholar but - more importantly - a wonderfully warm and supportive colleague and mentor to so many. We shall miss him very much.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Condolences to Helen and family on the death of her beloved husband Eoin.
In 2009 I did my masters in history at Maynooth University and Eoin was a wonderful lecturer on the subject of winter gatherers and ancient burials and practices. Sorry to hear he has passed away.

Sincere sympathies to Eoin's family on his untimely departure from this world. Eoin had a lovely presence on the campus at Maynooth University: courteous, friendly and full of good humour. This morning on the coverage of the summer solstice at Newgrange, Eoin's passing was noted as was his contribution to archeological and heritage studies. A scholar and a gentleman.

We were so saddened to hear of Eoin’s passing. We have very fond memories of his kind encouraging nature, in UCD, in The Discovery Programme (Knocklong) and as a mentor. His quietly spoken words over his scarf were insightful, generous and witty. Thinking of Helen and all his family at this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Helen, Eoin's family, and friends. He was always so generous with his time and expertise, and his passing will be a big loss to the wider archaeological community. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Dear Helen, sending heartfelt condolences to you and the Grogan family on the passing of Eoin. Such sad news to hear. I remember Eoin especially in the early years in UCD. He was always generous with his knowledge and time, a genuinely kind person.
Thinking of you Helen, and wishing you comfort and peace as you deal with this profound loss.

Sincerest condolences to Helen and to all of Eoin's family. Eoin was a great friend to all of us at Brú na Bóinne down through the years. He shared his great knowledge with generosity and charm. He had a wonderful talent for bringing the stories of the people from the ancient past to life. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace,Eoin.You gave me a chance at Knowth when work was scarce.Condolences to Helen,family and friends.

My sincerest sympathy to you Helen and extended family on the very sad loss of Eoin may he rest in peace.

I was shocked to hear of Eoin's passing during the week and my deepest condolences to his wife, sons and wider family. A thorough gentleman, he was a wonderfully inspiring lecturer during my degree programme at Maynooth University and opened my eyes to an area of Irish heritage and pre-history which I knew very little about. His field trips were always so memorable, even on the coldest days in Newgrange or Tara. He will be greatly missed and may God have mercy on his gentle soul.

Sincere condolences to Helen and all of Eoin's family.

Dear Helen and all the Grogan family, and the archaeology family, what sad news. Eoin always had a twinkling observation or a kind encouragement for the most bumbling first-year or the most self-doubting MA student, and I feel thankful and privileged to have benefited from his teaching, his writing and his genial nature. May he rest in peace. Sincere sympathy to you all.

So sorry to hear of Eoin’s passing. He was a true gentleman and very generous with his knowledge. He will be missed greatly. Go raibh suaimhneas síoraí dá anam.

Dearest Helen, Conor, Niall and all of Eoin's family and friends, sincere condolences for your loss. He was a gentleman and a fountain of knowledge who contributed so much to Irish Archaeology over the years. Thinking of you all at this sad time. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Eoin's passing. My deepest condolences to all the family. May he rest in peace.

To dear Helen, I was so sorry to hear the sad news about your beloved Eoin. I'll never forget how kind and encouraging he was to me, when I first started working in the UCD Archaeology Office in the mid 1980s. I have such fond memories of all of you working in the Lab. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathies to Helen, and all Eoins family at this sad time. Eoin contributed enormously to the study of Irish Archaeology

So very sorry to hear this sad news. My deepest sympathy to Helen and to Eoin's sons, siblings and extended family. I have great memories of happy times with Eoin when we were all students in Knowth, at UCD and in our early working years, especially in the late 70's and early 1980's. He was always quiet spoken, wise, perceptive, generous and kind.
May he rest in eternal peace.

Sincere condolences to Helen and the extended families on the untimely passing of Eoin. He will be sorely missed.

So very sorry to hear of Eoin's passing.My sincere condolences to his family, friends and work colleagues.A kind, gentle and above all wise man and teacher,his students over the years benefited from his broad knowledge, expertise, innovative work,his interesting lectures, and especially his kindness, a kindness demonstrated in so many ways , but in particular with the giving of his time to students.An academic reference from Eoin could be written with such glowing generousity of spirit, turning a blind eye to much, students barely recognised themselves therein. Irish Culture and Heritage could not have been more blessed with such a captain guiding its mothership. My deepest condolences.

Most sincere sympathies to Helen, Conor and Niall. Few people influenced archaeologists and archaeology in Ireland as he did and he will be widely missed.

Deepest sympathies Helen, and to all of Eoin’s family. I was so sorry to hear of Eoin’s illness and death. We have so many happy memories of Knowth and other events in his company. Take care of yourselves, we’ll be thinking of you. Maeve xx

My deepest condolences to Helen and all of Eoin's family. Eoin was a true gentleman, utterly charismatic, and always so encouraging and supportive. His loss is devastating. May he Rest In Peace🙏

Helen, my deepest condolences to you and the family on Eoin's passing. I remember Eoin as a lecturer in UCD with the coolest scarves and of course I always enjoyed our chats when we bumped into each other over the years. Sending you all my love at this sad time.

To Helen and all the Grogan family, please accept my deepest sympathy on Eoin’s sudden passing. He really was one of life’s great gentlemen and scholars.

Deepest sympathy to Helen, and to Eoin's sons and extended family.
Eoin was always a generous and unflappably good-humoured mentor and employer.
A lovely gentleman is gone too soon.

Sincere Condolences Helen on the sad loss of your beloved Eoin - May he rest in peace .

Eoin was my lecturer in the Maynooth Celtic studies module. He was an excellent lecturer. He was so passionate about what he taught. Eoin was so kind and patient too, his module was and still is my favourite class. Our trips to Glendalough, Kells and Bective were a highlight. Eoin will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathy for your loss.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family on your very great loss, Helen. I got to know Eoin when he was supervising at Knowth, and later when we tutored side-by-side in UCD in the late 80s/early 90s. Although our paths rarely crossed over the years after that, I really enjoyed his company every time I met him. He was exceptionally friendly, and he always seemed to have a smile at the ready. I know that will be an abiding memory for many.

Dear Helen, and their two sons, as well as his wider family. The Irish archaeological community has lost a significant expert in prehistory. Not only that, but Eoin also had a great sense of humour which I'll also remember.
May he rest in peace.

Helen, Niall, Connor and all of Eoin's family, friends and colleagues in Maynooth and beyond - I am thinking of all of you and your profound loss during this difficult time. Eoin was deeply kind, generous, and supportive to me, just as he was to the very many others he mentored throughout the years. All of us gained so much from his guidance and encouragement. He will be greatly missed.
