Sad to learn to day of Franks passing. I met Frank after I discovered he had written a book about the Tramore train. As I had lived in the station house for eleven years it was of personal interest for me. We reminisced over coffee in Tramore and later a few times in Greystones.
I send sincere condolences to Anna and all of Franks family. May Frank rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to Ann, David, Stephen, Vincent, Gavin, Valerie, Shirley, Redmond, Peter and all of Frank’s extended family. I’m really sorry to hear the very sad news that my great friend Frank has passed away. I have well over fifty years of fond memories of an amazing friendship with Frank and Ann. Frank adored his family and friends and lived life to the full. Unfortunately I wont be able to make the funeral due to illness. Rest In Peace Frank, you were a fabulous friend.

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Frank. A very kind, funny and thoughtful gentleman is how we will remember him. Rest in peace Frank.

My sincere condolence to Anna & Redmond on the sad passing of your dear Frank.
Break a leg in heaven.Ŕest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Anna, Redmond, Peter and all the O'Donoghue family. I have many happy memories of time spent with Frank on stage with Waterford Dramatic Society in numbers of different productions and, when his knees permitted, on the tennis court! Wherever we were, it was always fun.

Condolences to Anna & family on the passing of Frank, the greatest mentor and manager I could ever have wished for during my 7 years at Waterford Chamber. Frank broke the mould and set a new standard in everything he did especially in the Chamber movement. He had no fear of anything or anybody. Frank fostered an extraordinary family environment at work where every idea was a good idea. This experience of best practice in people management and his keen interest in my growth and development has served me so significantly throughout my professional life. I will be forever in debt to Frank, though he would never accept this fact. We'd meet for lunch regularly and became lifelong friends; I will miss him greatly....the laugh, the irreverence, the guidance, advice, the honest bluntness and of course the dead pan wit. How he made me laugh! Sleep well Boss.

I was so terribly saddened to learn of the passing of Frank.
Sincerest sympathy to Anna and the extended O'Donoghue family on the great loss of such a remarkable man from all of your lives.
I have such fond and wonderful memories of Frank. He provided invaluable encouragement and support to me when I first set up my architectural practice in the Chamber of Commerce building in Waterford and he became my first landlord in his role of CEO, as a result.
He was a tonic to meet daily on the stairs, or in the tea room, as he regaled us all with his great sense of fun and his wonderfully quick and wicked sense of humour!
Frank was a passionate promoter of Waterford and Tramore and worked tirelessly for both, instigating many outstanding projects and publications.
It was an honour and a privilege to have known him.
Rest in eternal peace, Frank and many thanks for just being you.

To Anna, David, Stephen, Vincent, Gavin, Valerie & Shirley, my thoughts are with you all and your extended family at this tough time. I am so sorry for your loss. Frank always had a wonderful energy, full of life and mischief, with a glint in his eye. May he rest in peace x

Sincere condolences to the O'Donoghue family. May Frank Rest in Peace

So sad to have received this news. Frank was my uncle and somebody I looked up to... and still will for many years to come. Words cannot describe how caring, kind, supportive he was to my mum and my family. Probably the most honest and genuine fellow I met. He included everyone in everything and always liked to share his wicked sense of humour. The penultimate time I saw him was on my wedding day when he travelled to the UK, despite ill health, to make, what I classed as, the 'ultimate big screenstar cameo in a movie production' - he chuckled when I told him that. When my son Lucas was born, he was one of the first people I called and his support and love to him was unmatched. My hearts and prayers are with Anna and David, Steven, Gavin, Vincent, Valerie and Shirley and my Uncle's Red and Peter at this time. Frank truly was 'one in a million.' God bless you Uncle Frank xxx

Sincere sympathy to all of Frank's family and friends. Such a pleasant and interesting person to meet. May he rest in peace.

Dear Anna sincere sympathy to you & all the family on the passing of your beloved Frank.
Lots of lovely memories no doubt to share of Frank over the coming weeks & months. May Frank rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Anna and the O’Donoghue family on the sad passing of Frank. He was larger than life and fun always. May Frank rest in peace

Sincere sympathy to Anne & family, Red & Peter on the passing of Frank. May he Rest in Peace

We were extremely sad to learn of Frank’s passing after a long illness.
He was a truly remarkable man with an indomitable spirit and a man of great integrity who impressed all who had the good fortune to meet him.
We sympathise with all his family especially his son, Vincent, his brothers Peter and Redmond.
May he rest in peace.
Ed & Anne

My sympathy to the O'Donoghue Family on the death of Frank. Any time I met him, even recently when he passed my gate he was always there with a smile and a glint in his eyes. I have fond memories of Frank and my late husband John sitting at my kitchen table , glass or two in hand putting the world in order. A lovely man who it was a pleasure to have known and who may now rest in peace.

I would like to offer my sympathy to Vincent, Stephen and all of the O'Donoghue family on the passing of your beloved Dad Frank. May he rest in peace.

With kind regards,

Patricia

Deepest sympathy to Frank's wife and family at your sad loss. Frank O'Donoghue was a larger than life member of the Chamber of Commerce movement. He was the instigator of most of the relevant projects of Waterford Chamber for a generation. A major supporter of the Suir Valley railway company from an early stage. He promoted Waterford and the South East. He will be sadly missed. May his soul rest in peace.

Sincere Condolences to the O’Donoghue Family.
I worked with Frank in B&L, took over from him as chairperson of Waterford Childcare Centre which he helped set up and am now involved with Waterford & Suir Valley Railway which is another part of his
legacy. His sense of fun, determination and contribution to Waterford will be long remembered.
May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to all the O' Donoghue family at this sad time. Frank was a great leader; selfless, kind, astute and on top of his game. He leaves a lasting legacy. May his soul rest in peace.
