Seán Leahy

Our condolences to Ellen and family on the recent death of Seán. We both experienced his passion for drama and theatre through our involvement in La Touche Players and at 'Gormo' summer school. May he rest in peace.

Very sorry to hear of Sean's passing. I remember him from the Monastery and The Abbey in Tipperary all those years ago!

My sincere condolences to Ellen and the Leahy family. Seán had a great passion for theatre and was always willing to share his knowledge and expertise.
We worked together in La Touche Players over many years and enjoyed great 'discussions' about authors, plays and especially productions! Rest in peace Seán.

Sincere condolences to Ellen and family on Sean's passing. RIP.

Liebe Ellen, Maeve und Eima!
Wir drücken unser herzlichstes Beileid aus! Einen geliebten Menschen gehen zu lassen, ist so schwer, wir wissen es!

„Je schöner und voller die Erinnerung,
desto schwerer ist die Trennung.
Aber die Dankbarkeit verwandelt
die Erinnerung in eine stille Freude.
Man trägt das vergangene Schöne
nicht wie einen Stachel,
sondern wie ein kostbares Geschenk in sich.“
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Die Erinnerung als Geschenk wahren, das möge Euch gelingen!
Wir umarmen euch
Angela, Paul und Olivia

Sincere condolences to Sean's family at this sad time. The Square One Days were so memorable and Sean was one of the movers and shakers of those great early days. He was the Bull McCabe in the Field and it was brilliant. His dedication to the cultural life of Bray will be remembered. Thank you Sean.

Ellen we were shocked to hear of Sean’s death please accept our deepest sympathy . Rosaleen + Jack Vance

Our sincere sympathy to Ellen, Daíre, Eimear, Maeve and extended Leahy family on the passing of Sean to his eternal rest. We have very fond memories of Sean going back over many years of days spent in Gormanston during the ADL drama summer school and the Stageworks drama school. He will be sorely missed.
May his soul "Rest n Peace"

I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Sean Leahy today. Along with the late Barry O’Kelly, both were great personalities, entertainers and nurtured a passion for drama. Their collective energy in those Gormanston days back in the 1980’s/90,s new no bounds. My sincere condolences to Sean’s family at this time. Rest in Peace Sean.

Our deepest sympathy to you Ellen & Eimear and Daire & Maeve on the death of your beloved Sean. May you all be surrounded in great love at this sad and sacred time.

I worked with Seán in Loreto Bray and am so sorry to hear about his passing. Such a lovely man who was so easy to talk to, and so good-natured. He'll be sorely missed.

Really sorry to hear of Seán death this week.
I worked with him in the Dept of Posts and Telegraphs (Telex Section) in Marlboro Street, Dublin back in the seventies. That's where he met Ellen, who had come to work in the section.

I am so sad to hear of Sean's passing. I befriended Sean over forty years ago at the ADL Summer School in Gormanston. We remained friends ever since. I've acted with and been directed by Sean. And he was a super guy to work with. A great story teller and a great listener. Sincere condolences to Ellen and to Sean's family. Thoughts and prayers...Daniel J. and Jane.

Sincere sympathy to the Leahy family on the passing of Sean.
We remember our time working with him in the GPO, Galway.
May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Ellen, Daire, Eimear, Maeve and extended Leahy Family. May Sean rest in peace.

Lieber Dáire, Euer Verlust tut uns sehr leid. Wir wünschen dir und deiner Familie die nötige Kraft, diese schwere Zeit zu überstehen. Wir sind für dich da!

We offer our deepest condolences to Ellen and family. Seán worked with the students in Sion Hill for many years through our school musical productions, dramas and TY workshops. He created memories for all students which they will cherish for years to come. He generously shared his talents with all and will be remembered for his kindness, dedication and passion for the arts.

Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a Anam Dílis

Seán directed me twice in my amateur acting days. Once with Yew Troupe in Terenure back in the late ‘80’s or early ‘90’s in the great Mike Leigh play “Abigail’s Party” and again, many years later with Bord Gáis Players in Liberty Hall in “My Wife’s Family” - Seán had a knack of getting the best out of the amateur groups he worked with, with just the right amount of “direction” - a great directing talent ! Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anim.

Deepest condolences to the Leahy family on Seán's passing. I knew him from a few Square One productions and the Gormanston Summer School. A clear love of amateur drama and the arts was there to see.

Sincere sympathy to Eimear & family on the passing of your Dad. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Seán will know of me as DBH! I only just heard today of his passing away. This has made me so sad here over in Glasgow, where I’ve been since 1994! Seán had the most distinctive voice which was often to be heard booming at me “where were you in 1916?” “You’ll be late for your own funeral!” As I arrived huffing and puffing up the stairs to the very top of Ormond st Bank of Ireland Branch in the early 90’s.
A twinkle in his eye him and the wonderful Barry O’Kelly always in cahoots! A great talent and like Dave Greene I am imagining him reunited with Barry making all sorts of mischief, turning heaven into a laughing theatrical magic kind of place that I hope to arrive late to at some point in the future!
Sincere condolences to Seán’s family and loved ones. I will remember him very fondly.
Deirdre (B) Hannon

So sorry to hear of Sean’s passing. I have many wonderful memories of him in Gormanston, all involving lots of laughter. Deepest sympathies to all his family. May he rest in peace.

I'm truly shocked to hear of Sean's passing. I heard too late to extend my sympathies today to his family. Many fond and treasured memories of Sean touring with La Touche and the annual Gormo outings. Sean was a true theatre practioner and always great company. I regret we never got to meet up again for those post Covid pints. Hopefully Sean and his longtime collaborator, the late Barry O'Kelly, are already planning another 'heavenly' production!

Sincere sympathy to the Leahy family on Séan's passing. A bright light has gone out! I am sorry for your loss.

Sincere sympathy to all the Leahy family on the sad passing of Sean. He was a true gentleman, with a lovely sense of humour and a quiet wisdom. He will be remembered with fondness by many, especially former students of Loreto Secondary School and Presentation College.

I was so sorry to hear of Sean’s passing. He leaves a legacy in the cultural life of Bray and much wider. I was privileged to know Sean from Square One days back in the late 80,s & early 90’s. His passion for drama, words and people were infectious. A gentleman in every way. My thoughts and prayers are with Sean’s family and many friends.

My deepest sympathy to Seán's family, I was very sad to hear of his passing. I have fantastic memories of a few Square One productions and parties back in the day. Great times with a great man. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Sincere condolences to the Leahy family on the passing of Seán. May he rest in peace

So sad to hear about your dear Sean's untimely death Ellen and family. Please accept our condolences.

Sincere sympathy to Sean’s wife & Family & all his siblings. He was quite a character. As a “culchie” colleague grudgingly conceded of his arty style “ he has great taste”. I doubt he will rest in his Heavenly home.

Sincere condolences to Ellen, Daire, Eimear, Maeve and extended family and friends at this sad time. I have fond memories of working with Sean during my school musical and it was lovely to have him as a neighbour to stay in touch with over the years. Lots of love, Richard, Cliodhna and Clodagh x

Sincere sympathy to the Leahy and extended Leahy family on the sad passing of Sean RIP

Thank you Sean for the joy the fun and the learning our 3 daughters experienced with you doing their TY musicals in Loreto Bray. We are all very sad to hear of your passing.
May you rest in peace.
Sincere sympathies to Ellen and all Sean’s family.

Lieber Dáire, wir können nicht nachempfinden, wie es deiner Familie und dir gerade geht. Dein Verlust und der deiner Familie tut uns sehr leid und kostet sicher viel Kraft. Wir sind da, falls du uns brauchst und wünschen euch viel Durchhaltevermögen, um diese schweren Momente zu bewältigen. Wenn wir dich und euch irgendwie unterstützen können, lass es uns wissen!

Sincere condolences to Eillen and family on the passing of Sean he will be sadly missed may he rest in pace

I'm so sad to hear of Sean's untimely passing. He was a huge supporter of Mermaid. I so enjoyed our Monday night bants about the movie. Him and his tipple of red wine. He could cut you dead with his intellectual sarcasm and lift you up with a word of praise in the same sentence. He was just a gem of a man. My love goes out to Ellen and the family. Rest in peace Sean

Our deepest sympathies to Ellen, Dáire, Eimear and Maeve at this difficult time..

Throughout our treasured time with the Loreto Drama Club and Sheevawn Musical Youth Theatre Group, his sharp wit and chats could always manage to lift up even the most stressful tech run.

His presence and expertise will surely be missed in the theatre community of Bray and beyond, though he leaves behind a wonderful legacy.

Thanks for everything, Sean, you will be fondly remembered. May you rest in peace.

Sending all of our love and support to you all.

Sincere sympathy to Ellen and family on the passing of Sean. Rest in Peace.

Sincere condolences to you Ellen and the Leahy family on the death of Sean. He was one of a kind. Rest in peace Sean

I met Sean first as a parent as my two girls took part in the Ty musical .Then afterwards I had the chance of knowing him a little bit better as I started working alongside him in Loreto Bray.His love of all Drama and theater was infectious and we all enjoyed hearing all the stories he used to tell us about the musicals .Last year I got to know him a bit better as we navigated in the same pod through covid and he did his very best to keep the girls spirits up through his fun and wicked sense of humour ..
The walls in our school are filled with smiley faces of girls having fun during different performances under Sean’s tutorage and that is one of the legacies he leaves behind .Fun and laughter .
