Michael (Mick) Loftus

Sincere sympathies to the Loftus family on the sad passing of Michael. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to John, Michael, Marie and their families on your loss.
Mick was a fantastic teacher, charismatic, erudite and a true gentleman. News of his death has brought back many fond memories - he taught us how to be critical and tolerant, and that education isn’t just about exams.
They just don’t make them like him any more and he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Sir.

Our sincere condolences to John, Kate, Emily & Grace and to all the Loftus families on the passing of Mick. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. May his kind and gentle soul rest in enternal peace in heaven, reunited with his beautiful wife Cora.

Deepest sympathy Julie, John, Caroline, Eilish & all Loftus family on the sad passing of Mick, may his gentle soul rest in peace

So sorry to hear of Micks passing. Sincerest sympathies to all Micks family. A wonderful and passionate teacher who made geography lessons so interesting with his wonderful knowledge and wit. I still to this day remember lots of what he taught me, still pointing out Trigonometrical stations(points) on buildings and old walls. Well respected by his students. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Marie,John, Michael & all the extended family on having to part with Mick RIP. I had many wonderful conversations with him and he liked nothing better than a good lively debate. May he rest in peace with his beloved Cora…another true friend.

His wife was a real lady in school she was my teacher in 1st class

Great memories of a brilliant teacher who's words still come to life in the geology and geography of the world around us. Also today I remember a story he told that ended with the apt and typically finely tuned phrase,
'Have boots. Will travel.'

Sincere sympathy to all the Loftus family on the passing of Mick.i remember the first day he walked into our class.With black hair and fringe he reminded me of Paul Mc Cartney of the Beatles.i remember one morning he walked into class with his books under his arm.The material on top of his desk was worn and loose.One of the pupils put the cut corner only of a pound note under the material with the green part of the note visible.Mick grabbed it,thinking it was a full pound note.we had a great laugh,mick had a big smile.He was a great person.A great teacher who had a great interest in all his students.I liked his style of teaching. May Mick rest in peace.

My sincerest condolences to you all on the passing of your wonderful Dad. I have fond memories of visiting Kildare and the warm welcome I always received from both your Dad and late Mum.
May your Dads gentle soul rest with the angels

Deepest sympathy to Micks children and grandchildren. Mick was a superb teacher. It was an honour to sit in his class and share his wisdom, which wasn't confined to Latin and Geography. A pint in the Harp will never be as interesting or educational again. Thanks Mick

Our sincere sympathies to John, Kate, Grace ,Emily and all the Loftus family on the death of Mick. May he rest in peace.

My heartfelt sympathies to Marie, John, Michael and to Mick’s grandchildren and extended family.

Your Dad (and dear Mum) were lovely neighbours in Tully and I have fond memories of him watching us play the odd game of football, golf, tennis (whatever was current on TV)….and always with enthusiasm and a warm smile on his face.

As many have said, Mick was a legend in Kildare, almost as legendary as two of his most loyal friends, Beart and Mark.

Such a sad loss for you all; I hope you can find some comfort knowing he’ll be resting easy with Cora.

Sincere Condolences, to all of the Loftus family, on the sad passing of Mick, a true gentleman and a great teacher, may his gentle soul rest in peace.

Heartfelt condolences Marie, your brothers and extended family…..
Rest easy now Michael ….

I am heartbroken at the passing of my dear brother-in-law Michael or as we all called him Uncle Mick. A man with immense knowledge of so many subjects, a man who could hold your attention with the ease with which he imparted his knowledge, his wit, his story telling, and above all his hearty and warm laughter at a good joke or funny story. His love for his native County Mayo and in particular Mayo Football, was limitless, and I personally spent hours talking to him and analysing where things went wrong and sure they would definitely have won an All Ireland if they had done all the things that Mick and myself had planned. But it was not to be . We will all miss him so much, the last man standing of a family of 10. May he rest peacefully in Heaven with his beloved Cora and all his family who have gone before him.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Michaels daughter Marie, Son’s John and Michael ,daughter in law Jean, Grandchildren, Sister in Law Julie and to all Michael's extended family.We have lovely memories of Michael on his many visits to kildaree where there was always great welcome and friendship over the years .May his soul rest in the peace of heaven amen.
