Ar gcomhbhrón ó chroí leat a Ghearóid ar bhás d'athar. Suaimhneas síoraí go raibh aige .

So sorry to hear of George's passing. I have fond memories of his insistence on correct names' spelling and on dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's during, among other times, his bridge column writing for The Times.

George gave me a live of the Irish language. Taught me in 4th class many years ago. Often went for the paper. At dheis Dęi. Loved the books too. A guiding light for the rebel heart. Peace

Aine, Gearoid and all the Ryan family, I was sad to hear your Dad died. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to learn of George’s passing. He was a great colleague at The Irish Times and a really important part of the paper’s relationship with its readers. He was also my maths tutor in Tullamore many years previously! Ar dheis De Go rabh a anam.

sincerest sympathy to the Ryan family and Aine. I met George at the 4 Fun bridge in 2014. He was so encouraging.

George may you rest in peace.

With sincere sympathy to George’s family at this sad time of the passing pf George, a name we in the Bridge world knew well. We knew him in person too as he would appear at Bridge events to find the exact detail for his Irish Times column and then we would wait to read what he had to say on a Monday. He never disappointed, he was polite and friendly, a great story teller with many tales to tell. We have missed him for a long time; he looked after us well. With sympathy to his loving family. George, Rest in Peace.

Aine & the Ryan family, I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad at this awfull time, May he Rest In Peace, thinking of you.

Deepest Sympathy to Moira and all the Ryan family on the death of your Uncle George and to Sr Clare on the death of your brother.Thinking of you all at this sad time. May he Rest in Peace.

Deepest sympathy. I have many fond memories of good times with George in the '70's and '80's. A talented teacher he de-mystified bridge for the confused and bewildered beginner through the length and breadth of Ireland through his very widely read books, The Bones of Bridge and Some of the Flesh. HIs contribution to the enjoyment of the game by so many generations of players cannot be overstated. Rest in Peace George.

Gearoid and all your family, Deepest sympathy on the passing of your lovely dad, may he rest in peace.

Áine, Gearóid and Ryan family (extended as well) , I was so sorry to read of your beloved Dad, George's death. I never met him but I heard so much about him - a legend .. and beloved .. in Bridge circles. His memory will live on,. I measc naoimh na gcártaí go raib sé !

My deepest sympathy Sr. Claire & Family on George's passing R.I.P.

Deepest sympathy to the Ryan family .

To Áine, Breda, Clare and Eithne and son Gearóid and Sr. Clare Ryan, my deepest sympathies. I learned Bridge from George's famous 'Bones of Bridge' and 40 years later I would still recommend this little pocket book - I still have my copy. Over the years I was honoured to get to meet and get to know and call George my friend. It is worth re-saying that Irish Bridge owes you a great debt of gratitude George.

I wish to extend to each one of you my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear Father It is indeed the end of an era. I am so thankful for the cherished memories.

Deepest sympathy to the Ryan family at this difficult time.

Very fond childhood memories of Mr Ryan as my teacher in Straffan National School Co.Kildare and his son Dermot who was in my class.
Deepest sympathys to all the Ryan Family
