Lawrence Smyth

I was very saddened to hear of Larry's death. A kind, gentle and funny man and a good neighbour. My thoughts are with you all at this very hard time.

My sincere condolences to Rosaleen and family on the death of Larry. I have spent 50 years in education and i must say Larry was an inspiration to me and thousands of teaching colleagues. He loved life and loved teaching and was the ultimate educator - students loved Larry for his brilliance, kindness, humility and inclusive disposition. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam Labhrás.

Rosaleen, Trish, Greg & Christopher, Our sincere condolances from all in the Ballinaloe Riding Club, both past and present. Lawrance's enthusiasm for the Riding Club ethos knew no bounds, and we always enjoyed his company when he was competing at both in Ballinasloe and at Flowerhill. A true gentleman whose sensible approach could solve any problem made him respected by everyone he met. RIP Lawrance.

RIP Larry, a massive influence you were in my life as a student of yours for five years in PCC. Your approach to teaching with such knowledge, intellectualism and humour made it very difficult not to be able to listen to and more importantly learn from you. Thoughts are also with Rosaleen, Greg and Chris

RIP Lawrence

Sad to hear of Larry's unexpected death. A true and genuine gentleman with a wealth of engineering expertise that he passed on to the many students he put through his hands down the years. Always to the forefront of new and innovative projects, his many successes with his students at the Young Scientist of the Year, is the stuff of legend, particularly the building of the first ever Hovercraft in Donegal, if not in Ireland.

Deepest sympathy to the Smyth family. We were extremely privileged to have Lawrence as our teacher in PCC. Not just an educator but a performing artist who had honed his skills to a fine art by entertaining and teaching at the same time. I will forever be grateful for his guidance from T18.
