Seán Byrne

Honor and family, so sorry to hear about the death of your Dad. Thinking of you and the boys. Niamh. (choir)

Very sorry to hear of Sean’s passing - I am 1 of many that have great memories of a teacher & dean that made school a lot more enjoyable for many of us.
I used to ‘suffer’ the odd convenient migraine & when he’d see me coming to his office to avoid something, he’d comment here’s Relihan & his Hisgraines again!
RIP Sean

Condolences to Seán's family. He was my English teacher in the late 1970s, and one of the best I ever had the good fortune to meet.

Although many years have passed since I sat in Sean's class, I have always put my love of language down to him. Patience and tolerance were a couple of other traits that made him a great teacher and one of the few that leave me with happy memories of my school years.
My sincerest sympathies to all the Byrne family at this time, may he rest in peace.

RIP Sean Byrne, a wonderful teacher and kind man. Sincere condolences to his family.

A Legend of a man!. Sean had a huge influence on my life in Blackrock College and only last week I actually posted in the 1987 Past Students Group that he was the best teacher I had ever encountered.

One of my classmates said that he was caught smoking by Sean one day. Instead of reprimanding him…he lit up and smoked with him!!. Stephen coached me and Donn smoked with me!. Rest In Peace.

Sincere condolences to Gertrude and the Byrne family on death of Sean.

My sincerest sympathies to Gertrude and family on the passing of their beloved Sean. May his soul rest in peace. He was a wonderful neighbour and friend in Wyattville.

Sean was a wonderful teacher loved by all his students. He was also a tremendous and supportive colleague. Staff meetings were always much more enjoyable when he was present. My sincerest sympathy to all the family.

To all the Byrne family and Sean’s friends, I have many happy memories of Sean teaching me English in school and plenty of conversations in Stradbrook - a genuinely lovely gentleman.

Deepest condolences to Gertrude and the entire Byrne family on Sean’s passing from all the Keoghs. He’s up there now with Doreen, Sheila, Mary and Joe. I’ll always remember cousin Sean as a very kind man with a ready smile. May he Rest in Peace.

Sean was a fantastic teacher and a absolute gentleman with the patience of a saint. Sincere condolences on Sean's passing. May he Rest In Peace.

My deepest Sympathies to Gertrude, Stephen, Honor, Niall and Donn on the passing of your dad Sean. We lived beside him in Wyattville Park for many years. He used to bring us to all the student discos in Stradbrook back then.
RIP Sean

So sorry for your loss. Only thought of Mr Byrne recently. My 3rd Year Dean, who kept me out of trouble more than anyone else!. A very understanding Gentleman that was always there for you. Sincere condolences to the Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Seán's death. He was after my time in Rock, but I got to know Seán in the Rugby Club. Such a gentle man. He will always be remembered through my daughter, Judy, with whom he had such fun in Stradbrook. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the Byrne family. Sean was a lovely man and a great teacher who was held in great affection by his pupils. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all the family on the sad passing of Sean-he was a true gentleman and a terrific teacher.
I am remembering with great fondness the school trip to Kenya back in 1987 which Sean and Gertrude went on with us-such happy memories.Rest in Peace Sean.

Sad to hear of his passing. A wonderful, brilliant teacher, with a sense of FUN not shared by many in the 70/80’s. He saw beyond the “messer” and instilled a love of English that endures.
One of the 3 teachers in Blackrock that inspired a previously unreceptive student. RIP

Quite simply my favourite teacher and such a nice bloke

Sincere condolences to Sean’s family at this sad time. I have wonderful memories of him from my time in Rock which I left in 1974. He was a great teacher and one of the truly good guys. RIP

Sincere condolences to all the Byrne family. A brilliant teacher, total gentleman and a great wit. Our class of ‘82 page is full of kind and glowing comments about Sean. RIP

Our deepest condolences to Niall and all of the Byrne family. May Sean rest in peace.

Sincerst condolences to all the Byrne Family. Have fond memores of your Dad especially his great sense of humour. I took my parents to visit Sean and Gertrude recently and Sean was the same as ever. May he rest in peace.

My deepest symapthies to Gertrude and all the family

So sorry to hear of Seán’s passing. He was a great friend and colleague of my late dad, Ciarán. I was only thinking of him yesterday and wondering how he and Gertrude were doing. Deepest sympathy to you, Gertrude, and all of the family.

Condolences Donn and your family on the passing of your Dad. Mr Byrne was a gentleman whose humour and directness was a breath of fresh air during my time in Rock. May he rest in peace.

To all the Byrnes, sorry to hear of the death of your Dad. With all the other news, it was brilliant, funny, irreverent, committed and caring teachers like your Dad and his pal Barry that we all remember fondly along with the acerbic put downs. Always a pleasure to meet in the Rugby Club or in Shankill.

I had the pleasure of being taught by Seán from 1965 to 1969. Only happy memories of his classes. He was such a kind man! Thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. RIp

A great man. Did so much good in Rock. Rest in peace Sean.

Sad news, Sean taught me in the 70s and we kept in touch through Blackrock College Rugby Club over the years Always the perfect gentleman and a privilege to have been taught by him . My sincere condolences to Gertrude and his family of whom he was so proud . May Sean rest in eternal peace
