Deepest condolences on the passing of Liam to Frieda, Pat, Mary, Jim and extended Heron Family and fiends. Also, Georgina who “cracked the whip” on Liam’s behalf in more recent times.

Great memories of Liam and walking the dogs with him as a youngster and in more recent times meeting up for lunch, catching up on “old” Swords, horse racing, exchanging and discussing books and his visits to faraway places on racing trips and so much more.

Rest in peace Liam.

Niall Howard and family. Ballyboughal.

Liam was a lifelong family friend but he was the one person who nurtured and encouraged my love for horse racing. One for punctuality, my Saturday mornings to get a lift to Navan & Fairyhouse taught me to be before time and not on time!. He brought me on all his Racing Club trips to yards and the races and he was very “constructively critical” when I started commentating but he always meant well. He was a stalwart of the Irish horse racing scene and he will be sadly missed but fondly remembered. May he rest in peace.
— James Griffin
