Frank Sheridan

We had the privilege of Frank’s friendship, professional support and camaraderie for the past 16 years from the time he and Rita were based in Brazil. We also enjoyed his warm friendship in retirement hiking in Co Wicklow and through our membership of Probus Dun Laoghaire Marine, an interest that greatly appealed to Frank.

He was a wonderful friend whose absence will be deeply and widely felt. But he was also intensely interested in his family, including all in the wider circle. Each of them were cherished, admired and loved. To all we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domaine

Dear Rita,
I am so sorry to hear about Frank. I was very fortunate that he was my first Ambassador when I joined the Department (in Mozambique). I admired his warmth and sincerity and it was clear how much he valued family.
Sending my sincere condolences,

I am very sad to learn that Frank has passed away. Frank was a great civil servant, full of decency, energy and integrity, who was held in the highest regard by all his colleagues. He was also a great story teller with a wicked sense of humour, which made him an excellent travelling companion! I am sure Rita and family will miss him terribly and I wish you all strength at this sad time.

Dear Rita, I am shocked and saddened to hear this evening that your darling Frank died, may he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Niamh, Emer and Eoin and their families at this heartbreaking time. 🙏❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss Rita. Frank was a wonderful warm colleague, and you both represented Ireland with such distinction. May Frank rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Rita and family and also to Mick,Brigid and their family on the passing of Frank. I met him occasionally over the years and like his brother Mick a very learned and pleasant man indeed . May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Rita and family Niamh and Emer and Eoin, to his sons-in-law Sean and Greg, daughter-in-law Jessie on the sad passing of Frank. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Dear Rita,
Please accept my condolences. I was so sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He was my first Counsellor in DFA and commanded so much respect because of his professionalism and passion. I have very fond memories of him. May he rest in peace.

Very sorry for your loss Emer and family. Our deepest condolences

So sorry to hear of the passing of Frank. He was a true gentleman. Condolences to Rita and all the family at this very sad time.
