Francis (Frank) Ferris

Dear Dorothy, Roy and Desmond, you are in my thoughts and prayers on Frank's passing. Fond memories of our school days in Westport and College years in Galway and T.C.D. May he rest in peace!

Met Captain Frank when he came to live in Monkstown a real gentleman - had known his brother Des back in the 1950s while at college in Dublin !. My deepest sympathy to all family & friends in your bereavement .

Very sad to hear of Frank's passing. He was an absolute gentleman. We have very fond memories of himself and his lovely wife Olwen. We loved their visits when we were kids as they would bring us a huge bag of sweets.
Thinking of all the family and their friends at this sad time.

Olwen and Frank were long time friends of our parents - Mary and the late Joe O’Halloran - going back to the 1950s. We have fond memories of their visits to our family home in Galway on their way to and from their holiday home in Connemara. We were saddened to hear today of Frank’s passing. He was a lovely person and a gentle man. Sincere condolences to all his family and friends. He and Olwen are together again. May they rest in peace.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers in your big loss of Frank. He and Alwen were faithful, loyal, generous friends for many many years. Alwen was a past pupil and they visited us regularly as long as they were able to do so. We have very fond memories indeed. When Frank last wrote to us, he said that his dearest wish was to be united soon with his beloved Alwen. May they both enjoy the peace of Heaven

I remember Frank and his wife Olwen as great friends and neighbours living in Brook Court to my late parents Joy & Joe Burke.

My sincere condolences to all the family. I sailed with Frank on many occasions on the tanker ship, Miranda Guinness, as technical liaison for the brewery. A true gentleman who had a serene calmness in all situations.

So sad to hear of Frank’s passing. Frank and Olwen were are dear friends and neighbours in Brook Court for 40 years and we miss them dearly. Condolences to all the extended family.

My sympathy to Franks family on the death of their brother. My Mother and Father Lilian Syme (nee Gillespie) and John (Jack) Syme friendship with Olwen and Frank stretches back over 65 years. Frank was a true gentleman in very sense of the word, a true friend to all. He is now joined with his great love and soul mate Olwen.

M y very deep sympathy to you all on Franks passing especially to Dorothy my

lovely childhood friend May Frank rest in peace

Sincere condolence to all his family i sailed with Captain F Ferris for many years on the Guinness ships and i must say he was one of the very best to sail with a true gentleman RIP

So sad to hear of the passing of a fine gentleman. You stole my heart with your kind gentle soul. I will never forget you .it was a great pleasure to get to know you. May you rest in paradise. X

Sincere condolences to the Ferris family & extended family. Frank & Olwen are united again, may they rest in peace. They were both wonderful neighbours for many years. We miss them both.

Frank was always the perfect gentleman and had my greatest respect as a co-resident of Carrick Manor following the loss of his dear wife, Olwen. Now they are both together again in Heaven.

A great friend to my parents. Many happy memories.

Our deepest sympathies to all who knew Frank. He was a true gentleman and will be fondly remembered by us all. It is consollng to think of Frank reunited once again with his beloved Olwen. May they both rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Frank's family. Just a few years ago I discovered the connections between Frank and Olwen and my late parents in Galway - Doreen Joseph and George Coghlan. Frank was a lovely gentleman and will be missed in Monkstown.

Deepest. Heartfelt sympathies to Frank’s brothers and sister and extended family on Frank’s death. Frank was a pure gentleman and a wonderful neighbour of ours here in Letterard for many years, as was his beloved wife Olwen. May they both be united in the peace and happiness of their heavenly home.

We offer our sincere sympathy to all the Ferris Family.
Frank was a gentleman. He always gave me a real welcome when I visited him on one of the Guinness ships and took an interest in my nautical career.

Deepest condolences to all of Frank’s extended family on his death. He and Olwyn were good neighbours at Brook Court for four decades and are missed. They are reunited now.

Dear Roy, Dorothy, Desmond & familys, please accept our condolences to you all on the passing of Frank.
The Ferris family lived in Clogher, Westport, many years ago & it is now my home.
