Tim Magennis

Kira, Sophie and Kate, my heartfelt sympathies at the loss of your dear Dad Tim, may he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Kate, Kira and Sophie and extended Magennis family on the sad passing of Tim. A most eloquent and engaging person who had a real passion and enthusiam for promoting Ireland in his professional capacity and was an avid lover of all things marine in his personal life. We were colleagues in Bord Failte over many years and Tim was always so helpful in sharing his wisdom and guidance in so many ways. Wonderful memories of when he took our golfing society to his native Ardglass. May his gentle soul rest easy as he sails on to the wild blue yonder.

Kira Sophie & Kate, very sorry to hear about Tim. So soon after your Mum passing too. Such a friendly man to chat with in Springhill Park for so many years. RIP

RIP Tim a pure gent and a fantastic story teller and always a joy to talk to.

He will be so missed by everyone that knew him in the DMYC.

My deepest condolences to all of Tim's family. He was a true gentleman and friend. May he Rest in Peace. Ethel Woods DBOGA.

Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your dear father

Owe Tim a great debt of gratitude for being such a solid friend and sounding board through the DBOGA, for encouraging my involvement with Inshore Ireland, and ultimately introducing me to the great work of the GSI. Worked very closely for a number of years with him on Ireland's Tall Ship project, which he was immensely passionate towards. His enthusiasm for all things sailing-related never waned; and his spirit, acuity, and positivity toward adventure, learning, and fun was unmatched. Fair winds Tim.

Dear Kira, Sophie , Kate and families . My deepest condolences to you all on hearing the news that your beloved Dad has passed away . What a wonderful Gentleman and neighbour he was . So many happy memories of his company spent in our houses over the years .
May he rest in peace with Anne now .
Much love to you all , Adrienne

I was very sorry to learn of Tim’s passing. He was always an absolute gentleman. I remember him starting work in the Irish Press newsroom in the early 1970s after a sojourn in Africa and having racked up much journalistic experience. With his beard and his charisma, it seemed like a Viking had come among us, and I listened enthralled to many a story about his seafaring days. He will be greatly missed by those of us who had the privilege of working with him. My condolences to his family.

Kira, Sophie, Kate & all of your family, we were so sorry to hear the sad news of your dear Father, Tim’s passing. He certainly had a full & very interesting life & will be greatly missed. Thinking of you all at this sad time. RIP Tim

Dear Kira, Sophie, Kate & family, I was very sad to hear about the passing of your loving father Tim. My deepest condolences to you all. He was an amazing man and I always loved spending time with him chatting about rugby, sailing or whatever was on his mind that day! He will be greatly missed. RIP Tim.

Kate,
Sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad, sincerest condolences to you and to your family on your loss of your Dad.
Kind regards,
Stephen.

Deeply sorry to hear of Tim's death. He was my co-contributor on the live TV transmission when the Tall Ships Race left Dublin Port and he also contributed to my programme, SEASCAPES, on RTE Radio. I knew Tim from his years in Bord Fáilte. A man who knew and loved the marine sphere and was a fount of information and support and particularly a proud 'Old Gaffer'. Fair sailing Tim

On behalf of our members, the Commodore and committee of the Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) extend our deepest sympathies to Tim's family on their loss. Tim is remembered with great fondness for his enthusiasm, wit, and knowledge.
Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear of Tim’s departure. Knew him over many years from his time in BOrd Failte when he helped in the old “Wicklow Rally” as a judge for several years and other projects of Wicklow Sailing Club including the setting up of the Round Ireland Race. Will miss his sharp wit and chat around DMYC.

Our sincere sympathies to Tim's family and many close friends. He was a great man in every way and he held a special place in my heart. He was a wonderful mentor to me and inspired me to follow a career in communications and I will always be grateful for his great big bear hugs whenever we met. May Tim rest in peace and I am sure he is happy to join his adored Anne, passed family and old friends. Sending our love and prayers at this tough time.

So sorry to hear of Tim's passing and sympathy to all the family. He was a mentor, hero and the much loved "Irish Father" to my colleague Sean Cullen and will be greatly missed.

Tim was such a kind soul and always brought so much life to those around him. Thinking of all of Tim’s family at this sad time.

a gentleman.

Deepest sympathy to Tim’s beloved Kate, Kira and Sophie and extended Magennis family on their sad loss. Tim was a great colleague and friend of whom I have a lifetime of happy memories. An “old school” journalist who had a a significant career as a young man in Africa, he devoted his working life in Bord Failte to introducing the best of Ireland to the international media with enduring results. He was universally popular, had a sharp mind and wide interests which made him engaging company, even at our recent “coffee and chat” get together. As a man who circumnavigated the world in his younger days, Tim, though modest about his achievements, loved the sea and his time working on his boat gave him much pleasure when he retired. Simply put, Tim Magennis was special. Fair winds, old friend. You did your country proud and will be greatly missed.

Lord rest dear Tim and sincere condolences to his family who he loved dearly.
I was lucky enough to count Tim as a great colleague and dear friend for more than half a century. He found good in everyone and was always in the best of humour and full of interesting stories and personal anecdotes drawn from his fascinating life.
I will miss our get-togethers with Tim and James when we reminisced about the good old days in Bord Fáilte’s Publicity Department 50 years ago. At our last one, a couple of months ago, we said we would meet up again before Christmas; how right Tim was when he said that was leaving it a bit too long.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh d’anam Tim.

Kira, Sophie, kate and extended families. Tim will be forever remembered by the amazing hugs he gave and the back breaking slaps which were given on every opportunity.
He was a kind man who will be greatly missed.
May he and Anne rest in peace.

Dear Kira, what a lovely picture of your dad. I got a real sense of celebration at your mums funeral and suspect despite the sadness, that your dad had an equally full life. No doubt you and all of Tim's extended family will celbrate his wonderful life and legacy. RIP. Joshua

I first met Tim in 1978 when I joined the Publicity Department in Bord Failte Baggot Street; over the years I learned so much from him, even to the present day. But I never mastered his knack with a penknife to pare the perfect pencil, a task he was always happy to do. In those days one wrote draft letters and press trips in pencil, something I still do. There are so many memories swirling in my head of those years. Thank you Tim and may your beloved family cherish your memory, and your beloved Anne and those gone ahead greet you. Rest well dear man.

Deepest condolences to Kira and all the Magennis and Treacy families on the passing of your dear father. May he rest in peace, reunited with your Mum. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

Kate ,Kira, Sophie and family. So sorry to hear of Tims passing. I remember he gave me a lend of a model ship to bring into school for a class project. Thinking of you all.

Deepest condolences to Tim’s family. A man of many parts and a life long member and former President of the Dublin Bay Old Gaffers Association and honorary life member of OGA , the parent association of- the Gaff Rigged Sailing Association.

My condolences to Kiera, Sophia and Kate and to their families. Tim was a brilliant colleague over many years radiating erergy and enthusiasm for his work in communications and public relations. He had a profound love of the island of Ireland, its people, its coastline and particularly for sailing. Being a very minor sailor in my youth I understood that freedom and energy he took from the marine environment, its diversity and nature that really excited him and infected his colleagues and friends when he spoke of it. His positive personality forged a wide circle of friends who will rightly mourn his passing.
