Dear Lorna, Helen, James & Des,
Our deepest sympathies on the passing of your Dad Jimmy. He was such a gentle man and a wonderful mentor to us all in Pinewood. He had such a hearty laugh it cheered everyone up always. He was a brilliant sportsman & I well remember the parent-children soccer matches on the Green. Or the evenings he would tell us of his rugby days. Jimmy was a skilled gardener & the aroma from his pipe drifting across the gardens in the evenings brought a calm reflective security. Blessings to you all and to Jimmy and Anna’s Grandchildren. May Jimmy Rest in Eternal Peace with Anna, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dhilís, Dominic Catherine & Family.

Helen I was so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I’m very sorry for your loss. Sincere condolences to you and your family.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Jimmy. We worked briefly together in Dublin in the 1980s. In keeping with the sentiments and comments of his many former colleagues, Jimmy was the essence of the 'gentleman of the Excise'. He was always the helpful colleague, especially with officers of little experience wo were 'learning the ropes'. Jimmy's essential character of goodness and kindness will be hard to replicate.

My sincere condolences to the McGovern family.

Dear Helen,very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Sincere sympathies. May he rest in peace. Moira and Kevin O'Brien

Sincere condolences to Jimmy's family and extended family on your sad loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy through our endeavours with the C&E rugby team in the mid 70s and always found him to be an absolute gentleman and a great coach. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to the McGovern family on Jimmy's sad passing. It was a great privilege to have known and worked with him in the C&E and to have met around the parish over many years. As other former colleagues have said, Jimmy was one of nature's gentlemen.

Sincere sympathy to the McGovern family on the death of Jimmy. He was indeed a gentleman we had many great chats at the Custom House.

To all the McGovern Clan:
As a young Clare man working in trade in Dublin, Jimmy educated me in the realm of customs law, practice and procedure. He became a great mentor and friend. Many a game of golf I had with him in Birr whenever he and Anna came down for the weekend. I lost touch with him in recent years and was keen to know how he was doing. I was so sorry to hear the news of his passing. A gold standard customs officer. And a gold standard human being. You should all be so proud. Bless his sweet soul.

Jimmy was a true gentleman, with whom I had the pleasure of working with on many occasions over the years. A great colleague, and always great company, it's so sad to hear of his passing. Sincere condolences to his family, may he Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace, dear Jimmy, a much-loved uncle and also my godfather. I have the fondest childhood memories of cousin playdates in Pinewood Park and subsequent family celebrations over the years. Jimmy was always full of life and energy for a good conversation with lots of humour. We are especially grateful that we got to see him and hear him sing his favourite songs in recent years.

Deepest condolences to Des, Helen, Lorna, James and all the family. Jimmy will be so missed and remembered with love by us all.
