Dr Eric C. O'Brien

We were very saddened to learn yesterday from one of the staff in Howth Lodge of Dr. Eric’s recent passing. While we don’t live in our apartment there, anytime we visited, our encounters with Eric were always a pleasure.
He was so helpful and reassuring when our youngest daughter caught her finger in a door of our apartment many years ago. We will fondly remember him. Sincere sympathy to his family.

My deepest condolences to Eric's family on his sad passing. When he was not beating his age again in Portmarnock he used remind me of the times he caddied for my late father Dan many years ago in Rosslare. He was some character and will be missed by his many friends and victims alike around the world. May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the immediate and extended family of Eric O'Brien a larger than life individual in so many ways. Eric will be sorely missed by all who appreciated his charm, wit and repartee. Unfortunately I cannot attend to cheer him on at the ultimate 18th hole but I will be totally present in spirit, to celebrate the life of a wonderful amateur golfer, a rum character and a distant relative.
May he rest in peace.

Please accept our sincere appreciation for the memory of your esteemed father. He will always be in our thoughts at golf, in the operating room or as a consummate friend & teacher
