Sincerest sympathy to Christine, Hugh Daniel and Edwina on the loss of your dear husband and father, Hugh. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
Hugh was my Chairman in Irish Credit Bureau and he was pleasure to work with. He was always pleasant, despite the often fraught atmosphere, which he successfully and skillfully navigated. A fair and honorable man.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Hugh. I remember he was a supporter of the Junior Achievement programme in Coyle Hamilton. When I volunteered, I asked if he would like to attend the last day of my time with the primary students and give out their certificates. He had no hesitation despite his busy schedule in saying yes. A lovely gesture from a lovely man.

Dear Christine
I was so sorry to hear of Hugh’s passing. From early memories of dinner parties at Mum and Dads to our wedding in Germany he was always great company and a pleasure to be around. Dad always spoke of him with such high regard in business circles and we look back on those days with much admiration for the closeness and friendships that were apparent. Wishing you, Hugh Daniel and Edwina our best wishes during these tough days.

On behalf of the CGQL members of the Monday and Friday roll up club, can we offer the Governey Family our deepest sympathy. Hugh was a real gentleman and a member of our group and he will be sadly missed. Today, after our roll up, we raised a glass to Hugh and Tesco Steve sang ‘My Way’ to honour and in memory of Hugh.

Dearest Christine. There are no words to convey to you just how very sorry we were to hear the news of Hugh’s passing. Hugh was sooooo much larger than life. His loss must be immense. He filled the room. I think charisma best describes him. He was full of charisma. His spirit is sooo very great Christine. He will always be with you. He will walk with you and your dear family every step of the way. Very special love to you all. Clíona and finbarr fox.
Dear Chistine just heard of the loss of your dear Husband Hugh…I am so very sorry for you…he was a real super person…my sincere condolences to you and your children sincerely Farah
We send our deepest condolences to Christine, Hugh Daniel, Edwina, brother David and all the Governey family. Hugh will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Hugh made a great contribution to the development of Dublin's international Financial Services Centre (IFSC). Much of the success of the international insurance sector is down to the selfless contribution that Hugh made of his valuable knowledge and contacts which he freely contributed to help develop IDA's strategy for the sector when the IFSC was launched in the late 1980s. That was Hugh's nature - generous and always a joy to encounter.

Hugh was a true gentleman who always gave his time and was willing to support and provide wise advice. Many of us were very fortunate to have met and worked with Hugh in our early careers in Coyle Hamilton. He (and others) provided big support and guidance. I am very lucky and thankful that Hugh was an early mentor.
