Joe Boland

Sincere condolences to all of Joe’s family, on his untimely passing.
He leaves many good memories to all who knew him.
I remember our attending Miss Malone’s in 1957 and later,
in St. Mary’s, when Joe first introduced some of us, to the
music of Bob Dylan, in 1963.

(I was sorry that I could not attend his funeral)

May he rest in peace!

Alan, very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Deepest sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time.

Joe was a proud past pupil of St. Mary’s College and part of a strong Mary’s family tradition, alongside his brothers John, Class of 1963, and Gerry, Class of 1972. He will be remembered with great affection by all who knew him and for the values of friendship, loyalty and community that are central to the Mary’s ethos.

Condolences to Killian, Conal, David, Alan and Teresa. I have happy memories of Joe from growing up in Nutgrove Park. Sorry to have missed the funeral. God bless, Garry.

Alan,
Thinking of you and your family at this time. May your Dad rest in peace.

So sad to hear of the passing of Joe , was very fond of him , and enjoyed his unique sense of humour , may he rest in peace , god bless

Please accept my sympathy on the death of Joe. I worked in IDA and was friend of Joe for a long time. He was a very special person to me. He made me laugh so much and that will be how II will remember him. I was in touch by txt very recently and I got no response to my last one, Joe was very brave and Alan will remember we met in Tenerife last year.I took a taxi to Mount Jerome this morning and eventually found his grave I was starting the crossword in the Irish times this morning and I saw the notice. I think Joe would be amused at me being a day late. Sincerely Ruth.

It is with great fondness that we remember Joe. He taught us rugby as little kids and always had such interest in us whenever we bumped into him for years after. Always brought a smile to our faces. A lovely man and a gentleman. Sincere condolences to Conal, Teresa, Killian, David, and Alan.

I loved Joe for his sarcastic sense of humour. He used to introduce himself as Joe Boland, no relation, but in truth I knew him so long ~ 1969, that it did not feel that way.

He cannot be replicated or replaced but always will be missed by one and all.

I was sorry to hear about Joe passing, I worked with him for many years, he was a very nice guy wit a dry wit and a great sense of humour, may he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Alan and the whole family on your loss

Sincere sympathy to Teresa,Killian,David,Conal,Alan,and extended Boland family on the sad passing of Joe.May his gentle soul rest in peace.

From the Paris Chapter Coffeys,
Our most sincere condolences to the Boland brothers – Killian, David, Conal and Alan. Joe was a wonderful thread running through our shared lives, from the 1970s right up to this day. Whether it was a chance meeting in Dodder Park, Rathmines or Ballsbridge (or leaning over a pint in Ashton’s) a chat with Joe was always an instant connection – rich in humour, stories, and the odd bit of divilment thrown in for good measure.
He will be sorely missed.
David, Vicky and Evan.
RIP Joe. XX

I'm very sorry to hear of Joe's death. He was always a witty and friendly character. He had some interesting stories to tell especially the one about how he was at the famous Woodstock music festival. May he rest in peace.

I’m so sorry to hear of Joes passing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Joe. His humour and good nature livened up some dull days in the 90’s. May he RIP.

So very sorry to hear of Joe’s passing a great neighbour will miss the many chats on the laneway.

Our sincerest condolences to the greater Boland family, especially his beloved sons Killian, David, Conal and Alan. Morning coffee and critical conversation in Searsons will never be the same again. What fun he would have correcting the spelling, grammar, syntax, fact, fiction or exaggeration in these messages of condolences. He was a great neighbour and an absolute gentleman, who will be sadly missed by those of us fortunate enough to have crossed his radar.

Dear Conal, David, Killian, Alan and Teresa. Remembering all the fun times with Joe and what pleasure it was bumping into him throughout the years. Thinking of you all at this tough time and sending love.

Always looked forward to meeting up with Joe over the last 60 yrs. RIP Joe

Martin McCormack

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. My deepest condolences to Joe's family on their sad loss. Joe and I soldiered together in IDA NY for a few years and I have great memories with Joe from having a few 'tipples' in a few watering holes on 2nd Ave and shortly after I arrived he brought us hiking to Mount Marcy (upstate NY). Great memories, RIP Joe.

Sincere condolences to Joe’s family at this sad time. Joe will be missed forever, so many great memories
