Frank CANTWELL

Frank was a friend from tennis, a gentleman who made me feel welcome always. We will miss him in the club each Saturday morning and at every event that we attend. Sincere condolences.

Dear Andrew & Colin, I was so sorry to hear about the death of Frank. He was a very dear friend of my dad , Colm, and I bumped into him many times around Merrion and Sandymount. He always brought a smile and happy presence with him and will be missed by many. What a lovely gentleman he was. Best wishes to you both and his many relations and friends. With love and fond memories, Ruth

Frank is a loss to all of us but I am sure that his family members,Joan Duff,Jane Williams,Maureen Sheehan and many others will give him a great welcome and will enjoy the Crab Claws from Howth which I'm sure he brought with him.
Andrew and Colin- you had a great father. May he rest in peace

Our sincerest sympathies to the Cantwell family on the loss of their beloved Frank. He was an absolutely lovely gentleman, always bright , positive and cheerful, and, of course, impeccably dressed. He really "shone" on the Fitzamblers away trips, both in Ireland and abroad. Everyone who knew him will miss him greatly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Sad to hear the death of Frank a wonderful, warm man with a great sense of humour. He and I had a common bond, his loss of Paul and mine of my son Eoin.

I was very sad to hear of Frank’ death. Frank made time to talk to everyone. His genuine interest in what was happening in people’s lives, his smile, his laughter, sense of fun and devilment was unique and infectious. I was lucky enough to enjoy Frank’s company on many social occasions, on Fitzamblers walks in Ireland and particularly on Fitzamblers overseas walking trips in Europe. My enduring memory of time spent with Frank was the laughter and fun we had our a trip to Forest Hill Tennis Club in New York in 2003.

How instinctively the words "friendly", "gentleman" and that "smiling face" surface in the many condolences that have been published. Frank truly was one of those rare persons who brightened up the day or all who crossed his path. I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing and shall miss his presence around Fitzwilliam L.T.C. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Frank was one of the reasons being part of a Club matters... always friendly, always inclusive, always laughing, always charming! He would light up your day when you bumped into him around Fitz. A true gent who will be sorely missed. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
Sincere condolences to all his family.

Andrew (& Colin). So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I enjoyed meeting him occasionally in latter years. Always welcoming, upbeat and engaging. It's been very nice to read the varied appreciative comments. They capture his spirit and personality so well.

My deepest sympathy to the Cantwell family on Frank's passing. We had many lovely chats at work in An Foras Taluntais and later when we met in Sandymount , often when Frank was cycling around. I remember him him once boarding the DART with his bicycle as he set off on an outing, I think to Bray. Frank was a lovely man who was always in good humour. He will live forever in the hearts and memories of all who were privileged to know him.

He was an absolute Gent. I only go to know him quite recently in Fitzwillam. We became friends and it was a privilege to have gotten to spend time in his company. I'll miss the blue-eyed twinkle in his eye and the great smile he was so ready to greet with. RIP Frank. My sympathies to his family.
