Sean Loughran

Dear William, David, Deborah and Jonathan, Michelle, Timmy, Phoenix and the whole family,

I am so sorry for your huge loss.
Sean and Catherine will forever stay in my heart as the wonderful and welcoming couple they were, with their intelligence, wit, kindness and warmth, and the beautiful music that filled their house, unforgettable when Sean's powerful voice touched the souls of
everyone in the room listening in awe.
Farewell, dear Sean and dear Catherine, I wish I could have seen you in more recent years.
Love, Livia

Sincere condolences to Jonny and family on the passing of Sean. A kind-hearted man that will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

Very sorry to learn of Sean's death, a thoroughly nice man who will be sorely missed by his family, Maurice & friends. I am am sorry that I will not be able to attend his obsequies.

Our deepest sympathy to all the Loughran family on the loss of a beloved dad and to our dear friend his only sister Gari. May his gentle soul rest in the peace of Christ

Very sorry to hear of Seans passing. I got to know Sean via the Fintan Lalor Pipe Band. Good memories of trips to Scotland and France and around Ireland. May Sean rest in peace. Hugh Ivory. Bray. Co Wicklow.

To Johnny, Willie, Deborah and David, thinking of you all. Seàn was always so kind and welcoming to us especially when we were always calling in collecting all the footballs we’d accidentally kicked into the back garden. May he rest in peace.

David , Deborah, Willie and Jonathon, what are the chances, 2 great men and next door neighbours checking out within 24 hrs. Great memories of Sean and Catherine’s parties, singing into the night, we’d be listening wondering when we’d be old enough to go. Thinking of you all and knowing they’ll both get a great send off - love from Sue and all the Lehanes, Leaba I measc na Naomh

A short note to offer my condolences to Johnathan and all the Loughran family at that this sad time with the passing of Sean.

May he rest in peace.

Condolences to Willie, Jonathan, Deborah and Dave. I have fond memories of Sean bringing us out to Kilmainaham and other cultural hotspots of a Sunday. And him teaching me bits of guitar. Also outraged he booed Dylan for playing electric in 66 but amazed he was there :). Very cool Dad.

I have so many memories growing up as a kid next door to Sean, and Catherine (Mr.& Mrs Loughran back in those days).

The joy and happiness that that house shared with many people will not be forgotten.

In recent times I got to know Sean more, and I really hoped he would be with us longer, but I think the draw of his one true love for him was too strong.

May he rest in peace. Thank you for the joy you spread to many. Give Catherine a kiss from us all.

Be strong Jonathan, Deborah, William and David, you truly are standing on the shoulders of giants.

Sincere sympathy to the extended Loughran family on the death of Seán, a remarkable, kind, and gentle person who played an important role in the ballad boom of the 1960s. I am proud to have known him when he was a young piper in the Fintan Lalor Pipe Band, where his father was a committee member. Later, I was privileged to play with him and his brother in the Abbey Tavern and saw first-hand his singing talent over a number of years. It was there that he met his beloved Catherine.
Despite his fame with the Ludlows, he was always modest and good-humoured. A devoted family man, widely respected, Seán was universally loved and admired by all who met him. He will be greatly missed by the wider musical community.

My deepest sympathy to the Loughran family Catherine was our bridesmaid so many happy memories i regret i am too ill to attend but my thoughts and prayers are with you all

So sorry to hear about Sean. He was such a lovely man and gifted musician.

For many years he sang with our dad Leslie McCauley in the DWMVC. They also sang is a smaller group too along with our uncle Harry Deegan and others.

We remember many great parties over the years when the guitars would come out and the signing would go long into the night.

Dad sadly died this week too. The heavenly choir has gained two wonderful singers.

Thinking and praying for you all.

May Sean rest in peace.

Deepest Sympathy to you Willie and all your family on the passing of your beloved father Sean.

Jonny, Michelle and all the family , Sean was a total gentleman and a kind and gentle soul. He was so grateful for the love and care shown to him.
So sad to hear that he has gone, May he have a well deserved rest, rest in peace Sean. X

Our sincere condolences to David, Deborah, William and Jonathan. We were very sorry to hear of Sean’s passing. So many fond memories of Catherine and himself when our families got together.

Deepest sympathy to Sean's family.

You have lost your very special father.

We have all lost a great friend, a warm, kind, intelligent man of integrity, honour and decency.

It was my privilege to have sung alongside Sean on many memorable occasions in the Dublin Welsh Choir.

The great storm is over, lift up your wings and fly, Sean ...

I am very sorry for your loss. Caring for Sean was an honour. He was a true gentleman, and I will miss our conversations — especially those shared over a good cup of coffee.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

Deepest condolences to Sean's family at this sad time. RIP Sean with your beloved wife Catherine

Very sorry to hear of Sean's passing. May he rest in peace. Condolences to all the family.

Such sad news ! Sean was a talented and kind hearted gentleman and musician. One shouldn’t perhaps have favourites but in the context of 30 years shared membership of the Dublin Welsh MVC , Sean was without doubt my favourite Dublin Welsher ! The big trips to USA/Canada/ France were great but even more memorable were the informal 2day gatherings in small rural pubs in Borris , Leighlinbridge etc - Sean on the acoustic guitar- so quiet and modest - never to be forgotten.
Sincere condolences to Sean’s extended family. It was such a privilege to have known him. Rest easy Sean. Conor/ Justine Agnew.

Condolences to Willie and the family on the passing of Sean. May he RIP..

Deepest condolences to Jonny & Michelle and all Sean’s children and treasured grandchildren
Timmy and Phoenix on the loss of Sean. May his soul rest now and be reunited with Catherine in her arms

May he rest in peace and his memory live on in all who loved him! ❤️
