Dear Ciaran, Nicola & family, so sorry to hear of your dads passing. Thinking you all at this time

So sorry to hear of the death of Gerry. We were delighted to see him in late August on his way back to Nairobi. We very much enjoyed his company in the early 90s in Kenya and looked forward to his visits on his journeys home to Ireland. He was a kind and gentle man and he will be missed by all. May he rest in peace.

To Catherine and all your family & friends of your dad - sympathy and condolences on your loss. May Gerry rest in peace.

Fionnuala, Cian and extended family. I was very sorry to hear of the death of your Dad and Grandad. I had the pleasure of meeting Gerry several times over the years when he was visiting his late brother, Mark out here in Sutton. He was great to talk with and I enjoyed the debates the two Brother's had over a glass or two. With all my sympathy.

Dearest family of Gerry
My sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with you at the loss of such a lovely man. I knew Gerry well in the 1980s and early 1990s when I was a junior/undergraduate member of Killiney Golf Club. I also worked part time behind the bar. Your lovely dad and my late dad Jim became good friends and played a lot of golf with the Plummers (high handicap men..Monday)
Honestly?? Gerry and Dad were not great golfers but they enjoyed terrific craic!!!
They were always fascinated that both their wives were called Eilis.
Mind yourselves and your families
Gerry was a lovely man and it was a privilege to know him.
RIP Gerry
