Sincere condollences to the McCormack family and friends. May Pat rest in peace

Alas we bid farewell to a remarkable and inspirational man our great friend and genius scholar Pat who has indeed raised the bar in how one should live their life.

"Its not the years in your life but the life in your years" as the saying goes and Pat was gifted in knowing the importance of making the most of the time we have and living a full and meaningful life which he did right up to the end attending Bloomsday earlier this year where we shared a glass of vino among his many friends never complaining once of the pain he was suffering rather always wearing that wonderful smile of his with his sparkly eyes full of life to the bitter end.

His generosity , inclusivity , creativity , and wit are gifts that brightened our lives. His great intellect as evidenced by his book " Hidden Dimensions " was a source of great pride to him and has left an indelible mark on us all that will live on.

Hopefully Pat now resides in a fifth dimension of eternal happiness where his intellect and kindness continue to shine.

Friday nights at the Bailey will never be the same but we pledge to uphold the tradition in his honour.

His memory will endure through you Joy and June . He will always remain by your side a source of strength and love. What a remarkable legacy.Thank you Pat for the amazing contribution you made to our lives and our community .

Until we meet again Slan Leat Ar Gcara and may you rest in peace. Amen.

Sincere condolences to Pat's family.
He was always delightful company.
He will be missed by all who knew him.

My deepest condolences to family, friends, the arts, science, timber industry in Ireland, Joyceans, friends of Lord Byron, Hellenism. What a loss to all of us, and humanity! My first and oldest friend in Ireland. I met Pat in 1994 in (then) DIT when I was looking for a job. He introduced me to so many places, events and organisations, I could not keep up! I still can not keep up….. RIP my dearest friend. I am sorry I am not there for your funeral but I promise I will try to keep up your good work in your honour.

Condolences to Pat's family on death of your dear Pat. I first met Pat when my sister Mai stayed with the family in Shankill in 1965, a very hospitable family.

Pat was a friend and colleague in Bolton street and alway had time to listen to you may he rest in peace

It was always an honour and pleasure to be in Pat’s company; a gentleman first & foremost- whose range of scholarship was worn so lightly. “Fear den chéad scoth”.
Pat’s many important legacies to DIT/TU Dublin continue to thrive. My deepest condolences to Joy, all the family and all those who loved Pat. I wish you every strength in mourning your very great loss. May Pat rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the McCormack family Pat was a true gentleman and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him

To June and Joy,

Sincere sympathy to you both on the death of Pat, whose company my brother Bobby always enjoyed.

My condolences to Pat’s family on his sad passing.
I knew Pat as a colleague in DIT Bolton St. He was very much behind the setting up of the Timber Development Centre there and was always very innovative.
He was kind and caring, interested and interesting, always great company, and a genuinely lovely gentleman.
May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the McCormack family at this sad time. I got to know Pat when I worked at the Bolton Trust in Docklands Innovation Park where he was greatly valued. He was one of nature's gentlemen. He embraced matters of academia, culture, the arts, literature with great enthusiasm, knowledge and humility. I enjoyed the discussions on Alexander Pope and Lord Byron. He was the consummate professional. Rest Peacefully Pat. Ni bheidh a leitheid aris ann.

Although we both worked for DIT, I only knew Pat through mutual friends. He was a most likeable man who enjoyed life to the full. I would have seen him not so long ago sitting outside Davy Byrnes with a cigar. A great fellow.

Condolences to Pat's family at this very sad time, may his gentle soul R.I.P.

Never got to give you your borrowed tie back, Pat; remembering you in front of the hearth in Mary and John's; maybe one day; may you rest in peace

My heartfelt condolences to the Mc Cormac family on the passing of Pat. For very many years an enthusiastic friend and colleague in Bolton Street College.
May his warm soul rest in peace.

Sorry to hear about Pat. Hard working and always busy. Contributed a lot in addition to his teaching. I first saw this in the 1980s on the planning committee for a proposed Building Physics Laboratory, which did not go ahead. One of the few who taught both architects and engineers in the science fundamentals and placed great emphasis on laboratory work here.

Had many a laugh with pat and he had a great sense of humour loved life and he will be sadly missed in Dublin .He loved social gatherings in Dublin and did great work in the Dublin Arts Club .Farewell Pat

My deepest sympathies to June, Joy and the extended McCormack Family. I worked with Pat when he chaired the DIT Student Enterprise competition over many years, and later when he was Chairman of the Bolton Trust. A gentleman from head to toe. It was my privilidge to have known such a wonderful, warm and intelligent man. May he eternally rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the McCormack family on your sad loss. Pat was a great colleague and a lovely person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dearest Joy, my thoughts are with you and your mum. I only met your dad a couple of times, but from what I know of him, the best of him is living on in you everyday. Always here for you.

Sincere condolences to the McCormack family, we are thinking of you all at this sad time. May Pat rest in peace.

Gentleman is the word all use to describe Pat. A relic from a bygone age, a polymath who could switch from poetry and literature to mathematics and science at the drop of a hat. I worked with him when he was the chairman of the Bolton Trust. A strategic thinker and visionary but to me personally he was a mentor, advisor and supporter. I will miss him very much.

Sincere condolences to all the Mc Cormack Families on Pat's passing. I used to chat with him occasionally in the village before he emigrated to Cabinteeely. Rest in peace Pat

To all the McCormack family network. I have just learned of Pat's passing with shock, and offer my sincere sympathies to you all. I remember Pat well from Shankill and then St Brendan's school days, and from being altar boys together in Shankill. Our paths then wandered their ways but I have great memories of those school days. May Pat rest in peace.

Pat was a wonderful colleague. He was so entertaining and was always in a very positive mood. RIP.

Sincere condolences to Joy, June and the McCormack family on Pat's passing. I've many happy memories of Pat as a true gentleman and wonderful colleague when I worked with him in COT Bolton St many moons ago. May he rest in peace.

Pat was exceptional. His hero was Albert Einstein and like few others Pat understood the complexities of relativity. We only met a few short years ago and he shared his wonderful book Hidden Dimension? with me. I was honorored to spend time with Pat, learning from the master. Pats humility and generosity set him apart. I will miss you Pat. I hope that you are now experiencing dimensions that we cannot percieve. Mary

Pat was a true gentleman and a scholar and great friend to the Davis family over many years. He set me on the path to a career as a physicist by tutoring me every week back in the 80’s. I will never forget his patience and kindness. Condolences to Joy, June and family.
