Shiela,sincere condolences on George’s passing. I remember meeting him & asking for guidance many years ago when I was going to Singapore, also later,meeting you both in Foxrock

Remembering George very fondly for the time we spent working together on the SIPTU Committee. My thoughts are with you Sheila and the family at this sad time.

To Sheila and family,
Condolences from an old colleague in CTT/ITB. I will always have fond memories of George in CTT - especially when we all returned from overseas to our 'annual conference'. George would keep us all entertained with his tales of serving the nation in Singapore. We will all miss him.
May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to u Shiela and the Kiely and Brennan Families on the sudden passing of George May he rest in peace..

Sheila, my sincere sympathy on your huge loss. George made a lasting impression on anyone who met him and I had the pleasure of experiencing that during those great days in CTT. Rest in peace George.

My deepest sympathy Sheila on George's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad and difficult time. Rest in peace George.

Deepest condolences to Sheila and family on the passing of George. Very fond memories of chatting to him about Liverpool FC when I was a kid. RIP

Sheila and family,
I had the pleasure of working with George in EI for a number of years. He was kind, treated everyone equally, generous with his time and extremely resourceful.
May he rest in peace.

My thoughts are with you Sheila during this time of sorrow. I’ll always remember how George and I worked together at CTT, EI and even after retirement. He had a great sense of humor and I’ll miss him dearly.

Dear Shelia,
I am truly very sorry to hear of your loss. I have lovely memories of meeting George on a few occasions, he was a true gentleman in every way and he brightened up my working day.

Our deepest sympathy on George’s passing. We became friends when I joined CTT in 1982 and his good humour and attempts to make me laugh, when I should not have, are amongst my many cherished memories of him. In recent years George and I would speak regularly by telephone and meet up to revel in the past, but more importantly discuss the issues of the day and the future. His values were spot on and he was often able to guide my thoughts on different subjects of the time both personal and professional. By serendipity George organised an EI event at which our son Cameron met his wife Sarah. George was not Mr. Everyman, he was simply himself: full of good values and caring about the rights of others. He will be sorely missed. God Rest His Soul.

Sincerest sympathy on the passing of George. We always had interesting meetings with E.I.
May he rest in peace

Dear Sheila, I was so sorry to hear about George. My sincere sympathy to you and to George's family and friends. I remember George with fondness from CTT to EI days. He was larger than life with a warm, friendly personality and a wicked sense of humour. R.I.P. George.

Deepest condolences Sheila. George was one of life's great characters and a wonderful wit. I only recently came across a kind note he wrote to me many years ago. Thinking of you at this very sad time.

Sincere sympathy Sheila and to all the family on George's untimely passing May he Rest in Peace.

Sincere sympathy Sheila on the sad passing of George, May he Rest In Peace

So sorry to hear about George. I only became acquainted with him fairly recently as my NUJ rep and though we spoke many times on the phone sadly I only got to meet him once. I found him charming and witty but above all sincere. From our conversations about family and football (we got sidetracked from unimportant things like work just occasionally) I know he was devoted to Sheila so I’m certain his passing will leave a massive void in her life. Sincere condolences to Sheila and anyone else lucky enough to have had George in their lives.

Dear Shelia. I am deeply saddened to hear of George's death. He was a wonderful friend and colleague. A great believer and defender of peoples rights. He was great fun and a true gentleman. He will be sadly missed. Rest in peace dear George.

To Sheila
Sending my love and condolences - Its hard to think of George passing so soon after Joe (Mcnamara)The frienship between Paul George Frank and Joe goes back to 1960- 70s - they all got on so well even though George was the only Liverpool supporter --- I will never forget how kind he was and his comforting word to me in January - Im sure you will miss him dreadfully I know he was a very loving husband - family man and a true friend
pls take care x RIP George x

I got to know George over the past two years when he supported me in redundancy talks and pre retirement issues. I never met him in person but after numerous phone chats felt I knew him forever. He was a brilliant support and a true gentleman. A great human being.

So sad to hear of our former colleague, George's sad and untimely passing. Remembering the old days. Having served in CTT/EI Manchester office, we were pitched as "Reds" of opposite ardour. So the banter was always mighty. Especially on "winner" days. Always laced with his great Liverpool wit. Happy memories. We now walk alone. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP George.

My heart goes out to you, Sheila, who I admired long before I met George. My time with him as a colleague in CTT was short but I never will forget him--his intellect, wit, and wisdom with his distinguishing accent. He was an influential participant at the University of Life in the Merrion Inn. All I can add is that he who lives in your heart never dies.

Sincere condolences to George's family and friends. George was a true gentleman.

Heartfelt sympathy to you Shelia and all the extended families,May he find peace and rest in his eternal home,thoughts and prayers are with you

My condolences to George's family on his sad passing. We worked together for a number of years in Enterprise Ireland and George was always a trusted colleague with a strong social conscience. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Sheila and the extended family on the passing of George. A lovely man to talk to. May he Rest in Peace

Heartfelt condolences on George's passing, he was a great colleague who always embodied the DNA of CTT.

Ever since we were little, uncle George would always do whatever he could to make us laugh. He was always fun, and funny and kind. And when I got older and spent time away, living abroad or travelling, George always made sure I knew who to contact if I needed any help. It was always reassuring, and a source of great comfort and security knowing he was on my side wherever I was. 

For all of George's intellect and achievements, of which there are many, I will always remember him as my funny, caring and clever uncle, always with a joke or a prank and invaluable words of advice and support.

Rest in peace uncle George, never forgotten and loved always. Fiona xxx

Dearest Sheila my deepest sympathies on George's death. I was in awe hearing about his life interests and travels this morning and how many people valued his advice and embraced his wicked sense of humor, he was definitely one of a kind who will never be forgotten.

George was universally liked as all the messages here show. He had the gift of lifting the spirits of anybody he met. A generous man with a big heart of whom we have many fond memories. My condolences on your loss and acknowledgement of all our good fortune in having met and known him.

Dear Sheila May George rest in peace

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of George. We often chatted in the years before his retirement and his views on life were always interesting to listen to. His commitment to the Union and its members was legendary and he always had time for people. May he rest in peace.

Dear Sheila, deepest condolences to you on the untimely passing of George. He was a great friend to me, I will sadly miss our phone calls during every Liverpool match. He’ll be up there now with Willie having the banter I’m sure. He will never walk alone. Sending you lots of love from Robbie and Sarita.

I was very saddened to hear of George’s untimely passing. He was a wonderful person, always ready to listen and help and a good friend and colleague. I will remember him with fondness, especially his great sense of humour and that wicked twinkle in his eye.
My deepest condolences to Sheila and family.
Rest in Peace George.

Sincere condolences to you Sheila and the Brennan and Kiely families.George’s untimely passing leaves a huge void in the lives of all who loved him dearly.All we can hope for I suppose is that we may in some way be sustained by the many precious memories of him that we hold in our hearts.
My abiding memory is of a man blessed with a most wonderful sense of humour. His acerbic wit was razor sharp, honed to perfection; a master of wit and repartee par excellence! Much of his humour involved secondary school life to which my brother Paul and I could relate having attended the same Grammar school. George could engage in serious conversation but invariably we reverted to raucous laughter.
During the troubled times in our family’s lives George was a real stalwart with wise words and his comforting presence. He leaves a lasting imprint on our lives, a true one - off. Fiercely loyal to the Reds, L.F.C. is missing one of its greatest supporters. May he rest in peace.
