Liam Shanahan

Condolences to Emer, Liam, Paddy, Sarah and Jack. Great memories and great times in Egypt, Bray, Whaley Abbey, 138, Owenstown House, Haddington Terrace. He will be missed. My mothers memory of the Shanahan house in Oxmanstown goes back to the late 1940's when my Grand Aunt Bridget Tyrell and my mother would visit Liams mother. A while back. RIP. Paul/Jean.

Dear Emir, Paddy, Liam, Sarah and Jack

From your next door neighbours all those years ago in Killiney.

So very sorry to learn of Liam's passing. I have many fond memories of the happy times you had with my parents when we were kids and I believe it was Bill who introduced Liam to sailing in what seems an age ago now.

Sadly Mum and I only learned the news recently and I'm currently at sea.
Very sincere condolences to you all.

Liam and my father, Art Peltosalo, were business associates at GE and later continued as close friends with visits to his home in Ireland and our place on Gibson Island, near Washington. I first met him in our living room over cocktails laced with wonderful stories and sly humor. It was there I believe that Liam met Jack Quinn of North Sails who made a suit for Liam's boat on the condition that if he didn't win the next big race, he wouldn't have to pay for them. I still have vivid memories of his smile and humor but have forgotten too much of the joke about the "uphill cow" which left me aching with laughter. He was always a favorite memory of Art's until his passing in 2002. Please pass on the condolences from the Peltosalo family to the extended Shanahan family. Eric Peltosalo

Condolences to Jack and all the family on the loss of your father

To Liam Jnr, Jack and all the Shanahan family, my sincere condolences at this difficult time. I first remember meeting Liam just before the start of round Ireland race in 1988, as a young 15-year-old (also competing in the race), I was in absolute amazement when Lighting won (mixed with a little envy too!!).
Thinking of you all.

Deepest sympathy to Emir and all the Shanahan Family on the sad passing of Liam. May he rest in peace

Dear Emir,
Our deepest sympathy to you and yours. We were out of the country & sorry to have missed the funeral. From what we knew of Liam, he was a man and a half and will be sorely missed.

Liam was a wonderful man who embraced and enjoyed life to the full.

Deepest condolences to Emir and Liams family and many friends. Liam had been a dear friend to my father Chris Shouldice since they were in primary school and maintained this friendship all their lives.

May be rest in peace, Ciara

Dearest Emir
It was with great sadness we learnt of the passing on of your beloved Liam. Our sincere condolences to you, Paddy, Liam, Sarah, Jack, and family members. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Over the past number of years, we enjoyed Liam's company during our Brunches and Lunches at NYC. We were terribly fond of Liam, who always had a smile, a kind word and time for you. In particular, Liam was exceptionally kind to Glenn, they had many great chats and laughs about their favourite radio shows. Rest Easy now Liam.

Eileen, Glenn, and Shane

Sincere condolences to Paddy and all the Shanahan family. Was lucky enough to have met Liam over the years and will remember him fondly. Thoughts and prayers with you all.
Caitriona and John

Very sad day to hear of the demise of the great SHANAHAN! Absolutely heart-breaking.
But happy with the conviction that he has received his eternal reward.
He (and Emir, too) were always not only supporters, but even boosters of my sometimes shaky endeavors.
I will try to follow his Mass tomorrow Saturday morning at 2 a.m.
The 10:30 a.m. Mass this Sunday in the parish of Our Lady of Refuge in San Diego, where he spent some time, will be offered in his honor.

To Paddy and his family , sincere condolences on the passing of his father Liam.

May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to the Shanahan Family on the passing of Liam. He gave my first job after college when I was starting to think I must be unemployable. That is 45 years ago now but I'm still grateful to him. He gave a lot of people a "leg up".

Very sorry to hear of Liam's passing I have known him since his early days in the NYC. My sympathy to the family.

So very sorry to hear of Liams death. My deepest sympathies to all . I remember Liam as a fun and generous man , RIP

Our deepest sympathies to all the Shanahan family on the passing of the unique and inspirational, Liam.

Sincere condolences to Emer and all the Shanahan Family on the passing of Liam

Deepest sympathy to Emir and family on the passing of Liam. He will be sadly missed.

Emer, Paddy, Liam, Sarah and Jack and your extended family, we are so sorry to hear that Liam has passed away and offer you all our sincerely condolences. We enjoyed many occasions over the years with Liam and he was always such a gentleman, full of humor and great chats. We are sorry we cannot attend Liam’s funeral as we are abroad but will join the ceremony and the celebration of a wonderful life online and be with you all in spirit and support.

Best regards
Val and Mary Keating

It's the passing of a great era. Liam was what's great about sailing, engineering, motivation and straight forward "Get it done".
Sincere sympathies to you all.
Alistair, Muriel and Kenneth Rumball and all the crew at the INSS

A wonderful force of nature who, with Emir, extended a great welcome to all at Shanahan family events in Mount Merrion, and the annual Whaley Abbey treasure hunt.
He kept us all in line! I especially recall when he (probably correctly) decided to cut short my out of tune version of Spancil Hill, to be replaced by ANY better singer. (Sarah got the gig with Yellow Bird).
The Shanahan's were an institution that played a major part in so many of our fun, youthful, days.
Will always be fondly remembered!
Rest in Peace.

My sympathy to Emir and the Shanahan family . I worked directly for Liam 1973-1976. A supemely talented construction professional by day- and the best of company outside of the day job.

Thanks for all the happy memories afloat and ashore-magic times.

My Deepest condolences to Eimir, Sarah, Paddy, Liam jnr and Jack and families.
I have wonderful memories of Liam and you all at Edelweiss when I was young. It was a privilege to have known Liam. He was always so welcoming to me,(at times terrifying) but absolutely inspiring in his can do attitude, fearlessness , his sense of fun and in the success that he achieved in so many ways. I was delighted to see you again last year.
May you rest in peace Liam

Deepest sympathy to Emir and all the family. Loads of fond memories working for Liam at Shanahan Engineering. May he rest in peace.

My most sincere sympathy on the death of your beloved husband, father and grandfather, Liam. May he rest in peace.

Dear Emir, Liam, Paddy, Sarah, Jack and families,

Sincerest condolances on the passing of Liam Sr.
He was a great support to me at the National Yacht Club not least as Club Trustee for many years. Always full of great ideas and different ways to look at things.
Liam was a fantatsic and fearless engineer who took what he learnt at GE Schenectady and grew it into Shanahan Engineering - which developed hundreds of Irish engineering grads into being excellent mangers.
We'll miss him greatly. A true man of the sea.

Really sorry to hear of passing of Liam Sr, condolences to Liam Jr and all the family.

Liam will be long remembered and appreciated as someone who sucessfully blazed a path for many Irish engineers in the international energy sector

Condolences on the death of Liam Shanahan
So sorry to hear of his passing
A great character and a true gentleman
He will be sadly missed by all

Our sincerest condolences to the entire Shanahan family and to our fellow Committee member, Alice.
I have very fond memories of racing against Liam many years ago and was in awe of him and his boat Lightning. A very decent and "normal" man despite all of his successes.
He leaves a great legacy to sailing behind him.
Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Dear Emir, Paddy, Liam, Sarah, Jack, and Families.

Myself and Tina would like to express our deepest condolences.

I was so fortunate to have started my sailing career with Liam on board Emircedes.

He was a man of quiet generosity and gave freely of his time and wisdom onboard and onshore.

Many sailors today, myself included, owe their ethos of Competitiveness, Corinthian Spirit, and Safety at Sea to Liam’s wise tutelage.

Home is the Sailor Home from the Sea, May He Rest in Peace.

Johnny and Tina Treanor
