Sincere sympathies to all the Toner family & relatives, may Robert rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all family members may he rest in peace an absolute gentleman

I knew Robert for only about a year, before his sad and sudden passing. He has left an impression of being a true gentleman, motivated by doing the right thing. Condolences to his family and friends, and may he rest in peace.

To the Toner extended family my sincere condolences on the recent untimely passing of Robert. Our paths crossed in UCC & were due t meet up again next week at our 40th class reunion, his passing will cast a shadow on events as he was admired by all. May He rest in peace 🙏

Where do I start....Robert you were truly a very unique, smart, sharp person with a great sense of humour.

Working with you was an absolute joy, you taught me so much and for that I will forever be grateful.

I will miss our regular chats and most of all I will miss a very dearly friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends at this difficult time and may you rest in peace.

I like many who knew him are shocked and may God have mercy on his gentle soul. I hope there is Horse Racing in heaven, Bob.

My sincerest sympathy to Robert's relations and friends. I had the pleasure of helping him with his Irish when [ I think] they came from England to Beechwood Park about 1970. His parents and mine were great friends and neighbours.
Even at that age he was clever and bright and kind and courteous and sociable. I knew he'd do well.
Gone too soon.
May he RIP.

Dearest Robert, who I had the absolute pleasure of working for since last year. A totally unique gentleman; world class company with amazing life experiences about the people he had met and places he had visited. His wise counsel and humour, I will hold dear and miss with equal measure. We were lucky to have had a small part of him. My condolences to Nesta, and his family and friends. May he rest peacefully.

Sincere condolences to the Toner family on the death of Robert.May he rest in peace

Very shocked and sad to hear of Robert’s untimely death. He was in my class in UCC. I met him over the years at previous reunions and I was looking forward to meeting him again in a few weeks. He was such a nice guy - very intelligent but vey modest too. May he rest in peace.

What can you say, Robert was unique, one of a kind you would meet in this world, so kind and caring. Sincere condolences to all his cousins and friends near and far. United with his loved ones. May his gentle soul Rest In Peace

Deepest sympathy to Toner family on sad passing of Robert.
May his soul rest in peace.

Sorry to hear the passing of Robert. We Enjoyed your visits to Donegal.Rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Robert's cousins in Cork and Donegal, extended families and his very good friends in Ireland and the UK.

I worked for Robert over this past year and have been fortunate enough to spend time to get to know him and benefit from his vast experience and guidance. He was a true gentleman with many stories and insights who is greatly missed. Sleep peacefully Robert.

Robert was a prize winning debater in the school senior team as a well as being an active member of the Students Council in the Patrician Academy. I recall great moments of his both in preparing for and in debating itself. His talents were never lost in anything he set his mind to. May Robert Rest in Peace.

Having met Robert through working together in 2018-19, I quickly came to appreciate his sharp mind, brilliant organisational abilities and his unique style of getting on so well with people and getting around them to deliver. We shared many common interests - in particular in racing - after we finished working together in 2019, we maintained contact and had an annual outing to the races together.
Robert was the ultimate professional with huge experience in his field - he always had a suggested solution to any problem.
But it was his unique personable style and great sense of humour that will remain with me now that he is gone. He was very proud of his family and connections to Mallow and Donegal while always speaking highly of his friends and neighbours in UK.
Robert always had things to do and people to meet and socially was great fun.
Now that he has joined his much loved Mum, may his gentle soul rest in peace. You will be missed, Robert.

I am very sorry to hear of Robert's passing. It is lovely to see the messages already posted here from people who knew Robert over the years. I was in school with Robert and a contemporary in UCC. Some familiar names here and some who knew Robert more recently.
I spent a few years in the UK and used to meet him over there. I remember staying with him in Hammersmith shortly after he moved to London. Sadly the last time I spoke to him in person was in Naas pre-Covid. He had a great brain and was highly organised. He loved his horse racing and other sports.
RIP Robert

I was very saddened to read of Robert's death. I will remember him very fondly as an excellent Accounting and Economics student in The Patrician Academy. Robert was a lovely lad always, highly intelligent and a pleasure to teach. He was also very unassuming. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílís.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert regularly over the past 6 or so years. He was so bright, wise and talented, but also very humble with it. He became a friend over the years and I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Robert’s sudden passing. He was a colleague and friend over the last six years. His bright mind, sharp wit and jovial manner will be missed by all of us who were fortunate to know him. My condolences to his cousins and wider family.

I am greatly saddened and shocked to learn of Robert’s untimely passing. I have known Robert since national school. We were in the same year in secondary school and we did the same degree course in UCC. After college we both went to the UK and would meet up regularly during my time there. He was always great to keep in touch. He was highly intelligent and had a great range of interests, from politics, social issues, horse racing and sports events. He loved a good debate.
My sincere condolences to his cousins and friends. May he rest in peace with his beloved parents.

Heartbroken to hear of your passing,Robert R.I.P may your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. Reunited with your loving Parents Paddy & Phil
Fond memories of you all, which I will cherish forever. Can still hear your beautiful Mum saying in her sweet Cork accent "Bob! no Bob lives here, his name is Robert." when we came to visit them in Mallow Cork (Summer 1985).
Also I remember saying,"Hate drivers who overtake you on the motorway, then exit on the next junction."
Your reply was "I'm one of them drivers."
Then we laughed. Fly high until we meet again. Goodnight & GodBless xxXxx

Deepest sympathy to Robert’s relatives and friends. He was a real gentleman who will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace.

Very saddened to hear this news. My deepest sympathies to all who mourn Robert’s passing. He was an extraordinary kind and gracious man who was so exceptionally good to his late mother Ellen, who in turn was so deeply proud of him. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

What an extraordinary kind gentleman Robert was and my condolences to his cousins and close friends.I marvelled for years at his devotion and kindness to his late mother who herself was so deserving of it.

I had the honour of knowing Robert and working alongside him for the last 3-4 years.
So rarely do you come across someone like Robert who combined such a sharp brain with vast experience, huge tenacity and energy, and on top could maintain such a calm and dignified demeanour in all circumstances. No matter what challenges lay ahead (or suddenly emerged), with Robert on our side we knew we’d find a way through. Outside of work Robert was great fun with a drink in hand and a story or two to share.

We are all shocked and deeply saddened by his sudden passing. Condolences to all of Robert's family and his many friends in Mallow and further afield.

Rest in Peace Robert, reunited with your loved ones in Mallow.

Having grown up next door to Robert, we are very saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Robert was an engaging and interesting man and we enjoyed his many stories of places visited and exciting work exploits. He always made time to keep in touch with us and will be fondly remembered.
Our sincere condolences to his cousins in Cork and Donegal.
May Robert now rest in peace with his beloved parents Pat & Phil.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Robert.
I have known him since our ‘Academy’ days and our interest in politics and horses gave us much to talk about down the years.
He was a wonderful son to his late parents and a loyal and helpful friend to so many from Mallow and much further afield.
He will be long remembered with profound respect and affection.
May he rest in peace.

I first met Robert in secondary school. My husband Joe and I got to know him better in UCC, and then stayed in contact for the more than 35 years we've been in London. He moved us into our first flat - he had a company car before anybody else! His drive and energy were remarkable - but he was a gentle soul. As others have remarked, his devotion to his parents was extraordinary. He was due to attend a 40-year reunion in UCC in just a few weeks time. We are shocked and saddened by his passing and will remember him fondly always. Ar dheis Dé go Raibh a Anam.

So sad to hear of the sudden passing of Robert. He was a kind gentle and sincere person and I was very lucky to have known him for many years. May his gentle soul Rest In Perfect Peace now along with his parents.
Sincere condolences to the Toner, Ryan and Roche Families

We are very sorry to learn of the untimely passing of Robert. Eventhough our paths didn't cross to the extent that we could say we knew you well, Robert, we can surely say we knew of you, of your exemplary love, gratitude, dedication to your Parents, especially your late Mam, in her widowed years until her own death . It is the mark of the good person you were to have accompanied her so closely, generously, and with such steadfastness, in her senior years. You have set the bar very high.
As we read the lovely condolences your friends have already put in, is is not in the least difficult to understand that your warmth, kindness and all of the other good attributes they found in you have left a deep impression.
May Robert Rest in Peace, reunited with all those he loved who went before him.
