Eoghan Lavelle (Ó Maolfhábhail)

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Coxswain and send our sincerest condolences to the entire Lavelle family. Between the three generations of our family we all have many fond memories of time spent at sea or on camp with Coxswain. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Eoghan and I go back to the Rovers in 5th Port Sea Scouts. I will always remember Eoghan calling into my family home to go afloat in Grainne Mauve. Later he moved his boat to the Shannon and we used to go there . On two occasions I stood on his glasses and broke them.
I have many happy memories of those far away days made more enjoyable by my friend.
He is not gone only over the horizon. May he rest in Peace.

Sincere condolences to The Lavelle Family on Mr Lavelles passing. I was both a Student Nurse and Staff Nurse with him in the Richmond Hospital and one day he asked me if I wouldn’t mind him using my name He said he wanted to call his daughter this name as he loved it. My reply was it would be a pleasure. He was such a Gentleman and a pleasure to do rounds with. May He Rest In Peace.

Sincere sympathy to all the Lavelle family.The Doc,A man who molded many a boy into a man.Through good scout training a great work ethic.

Deepest sympathies to the Lavelle family on the passing of Coxswain; a great person who touched so many lives. May he rest in peace.

Eoghan was a very friendly helpful staff member when I started in the Richmond in 1982. He was full of historical anecdotes of hierarchy and rankings in Dublin hospitals when he was young. I can still see him in my minds eye in the consultants room at Beaumont in his white coat. A truly gentle should and a decent man. My condolences to all his family. Rest in Peace Eoghan.

Very sorry to hear of the Doc's passing. Many happy memories of long summers on the Albatross and seeing Banba or Cushag sailing by with a crowd of scouts on board being taught the finer points of sailing.

My sincere sympathies to Eoghan's family on their sad loss and to his wider family in 8u Calafort. I had the privilege and honour of knowing Eoghan as a Scout, as a Sailor and as a Gentleman.

Thinking of you all at this sad time. Have many fond memories of Coxwain from my days with Dunlaoire Sea Scouts.

Thinking of you all at this sad time. Mr Lavelle was such a gentleman and lovely to work for. May he Rest in Peace.

Deepest sympathies to the all of the Lavelles and extended family. Eoghan was an ever-present reference point to us for the tidiest, safest, kindest, and best thought out solution for everything. Doc enriched our childhoods camping sailing and learning in 8ú Calafort, and far, far further afield. He taught us values and immensely useful skills and interesting snippets of information which we are now passing to our children. Thank you Coxswain. He is greatly missed but very fondly remembered by the Mac Aoidh (Magee) families.

Our sincerest sympathies to Eoghan's extended family. We have had the honour to involved in various Scouting events over the last seven decades or so. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies to Blánaid, Aisling and Lilo. My memories of Eoghan are of a kind, patient and good humoured man who gave so generously of his time and energies to scouting. I have fond memories of afternoons at sea on Cushag of Mann, with Doc doing his best to teach us the finer points of sailing, often as Gaeilge. He was always interested and encouraging and a joy to spend time with. Fear stuama agus lách. Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam uasal.

Aisling my thoughts are with you at this very sad time, reading about your lovely Dad it is clear he was such an inspiration to so many and had a life well lived. May he rest in peace. Mind yourself and sincere condolences to your Mam and sister.

To describe Coxswain impact as significant on my life in what were very difficult years would be an understatement. To this day I make my daughters keep their sailing logs as they refine their craft in the San Francisco Bay. Always generous of spirit, patient to teach us the finer points of the rule of 12th’s and making us do navigation from Wales without the aide of GPS. RIP

Deepest sympathy to all the family on Eoghan's sad passing. He is now at anchor after all those years spent training the future sailors .A true gentleman! .

Blanaid agus Aisling, go mbeidh leaba i measc na Naomh ag bhur n-athair

A fellow Scouter to us all , of which we have fond memories of attending his Coastal Navigation courses in 66 Lwr. Lesson Street and refresher courses in Dunlaoghaire. The times he took us afloat at night when staying over on Albatross to experience night Navigation in Dublin Bay.
It was an always a great adventure to be with Eoghan. Thank you.

Rest in Peace.

Sincere condolences to all the Lavelle family. Scouting Ireland has lost one of the greatest Scouts. A kind, honourable and true gentleman has gone home.

Comhbhron o chroi ar bas Eoghan. A Giant of a man, when you think of all the young people he inspired and gave life lessons to over many years, after the formation of 8u Calafort, Gasoga Mara, certainly for me and my 5 brothers. Great lessons in values, teamwork, resilience, respect and leadership. The best in what Scouting can be. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam uasal.

Our sincere sympathy and condolences to Lilo, Aisling and Blánaid. Eoghan was a real gentleman, and a good colleague and friend.

Sincere condolences to the Lavelle family on your loss at this most difficult, especially during these restricted times, keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of being on the Development Project to Kenya with Eoghan in 1983. Lots of treasured memories from our time away, he looked after us all so well. He was the essence of a true SCOUT caring, generous to all with his time and his many skills and talents. One of life's true gentlemen ''Gone Home'' to his heavenly reward

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of our wonderful Coxswain. He taught us so much, made us better people, and helped us to see that there is always adventure in life. He was always encouraging us, inspiring us, looking after us, and being part of the adventure.
My deepest sympathies to Lilo, Aisling, Blánaid, Aifric, Sibéal and all your family on your loss.
It is lovely to think of Coxswain now though, being reunited with Gráinne. 
"Gone home". Slán abhaile Coxswain. 

Aisling & Blanaid, sorry for the loss of your lovely Dad, very happy memories of trips in Banba with The Doc.

Aisling, I'm sending you and your family my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear Dad. He certainly lived a very full life and his legacy lives on in you. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Condolences to the Lavelle family who were so lucky to have Eoghan at the helm.
Doc shared his knowledge with warmth and a gentleness. He was such a positive influence on so many throughout the different aspects of his life, sailing, sea scouts, medicine and I believe occasionally stepping in for Grainne. In a time when we are not sharing hugs I picture him having the longest, tightest hug with Grainne. Rest in Peace Doc.

So very sorry to hear this. "The Doc" was such a wonderful leader and an inspiration to generations of us in 8ú Calafort, along with Gráinne, also much missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

My friend Eoghan was one of the most influential people in my life. We were both scouts in Dollymount sea scouts and Eoghan asked me to help him start a sea scout troop in Dún Laoghaire. I agreed and the result was 8ú Calafort. I miss him dearly. My thoughts are with LILO and the girls at this difficult time.

Dear Aisling and Bláthnaid,
My sincere condolences to you and your family on your sad loss of your dad.

So sorry to hear of Doc Lavelle's passing, he was a customer of mine in the world of orthopaedics, and we also knew each other through sailing. He was an absolute gentleman, and it was an honour to have known him.
