William (Bill) Lynch

Deepest sympathies to Bill's family, friends, colleagues, classmates and loved ones. May he rest in peace.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of a friend and colleague, Bill. A dedicated maths teacher and mentor, he inspired countless students and left a lasting legacy in the community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Bill will be greatly missed.

Deepest sympathy to Joanne, Will, sister, brothers, nieces & nephews and the extended family on your terribly sad loss of Bill RIP.

It was with deep sadness that I learned that Bill had passed away. He was a perfect gentleman and it was a pleasure to both communicate with and to work with him.

In his role with the NCCA, Bill was most helpful to the members and to the Executive of the Irish Agricultural Science Teachers Association/ IASTA, over a number of years, as both sides strived to get the New Specifications for Leaving Certificate Agricultural Science implemented by the D.E.S. and taught in the classroom.
Bill remained on for at least a year after his retirement in order to complete this task. This was deeply appreciated by IASTA.
Such was the dedication and committment and endurance of Bill, that the teaching of the New Specifications became a reality in September 2021.

On a personal level, we became very good friends and we had long chats on the phone at night discussing education matters and more. Alas Covid seemed to have cut off our contact......Bill was a truly great person.

May the gentle soul of Bill Rest in Peace.

George Dennis, ex National Chairperson, Irish Agricultural Science Teachers Association / IASTA.

Sincere sympathy to Bill's family on his passing. I knew him from my time as National Secretary and Chairperson of the Irish Mathematics Teachers' Association. Another chapter in Irish education comes to a close. May he rest in peace.

So sad to hear about the passing of Bill. Sincerest sympathies to all of his family. I worked with Bill as a tutor on the BSCed programme in Maynooth for the last two years.

My sincere condolences to all the Lynch and Drumm families on the very sad passing of Bill. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

Even though Ann (twin) & I were very young when we spent holidays in Carrickmacross, we loved visiting, playing on the hay stacks & Bill looking after us!!

You were a special soul Bill and now at peace with your family & friends above!! RIP Eileen (Nee Mooney)

The Christian Brothers wish to convey condolences to Bill's family on this sad occasion. They also wish to pay tribute to him for his enormous contribution to the Oatlands College community.

I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's death. Deepest sympathy to Will, Joanna and the extended family. Bill was a colleague of mine in the Patrician Academy Mallow, in the early 1980s where he taught Physics and Maths. He was an absolute gentleman and a very caring person. He was hugely involved in the mammoth fundraising task for the new extension at that time. I will always remember him very fondly. May he now Rest in Peace with your Mam, Mary.

Deepest sympathy to Joanne and Will on the passing of your wonderful dad, Bill. From his years as a teacher in the Patrician Academy, Mallow, it was an honour for me to have shared many paths and friends together in Education. Both of us journeyed from Mallow to the NCCA - Bill to 'Project Maths' and I to Biology. Through that journey, Bill introduced both my wife Colette and I to your Mam, Mary. It was catch up time when they called to our home in Mallow whenever they passed. He was a man of deep faith and commitment with a sharing heart of gold. May his faith guide him now to his eternal reward with your Mam, Mary. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílís.

So sad to receive the news of Bill’s untimely passing. Such fond childhood memories of holidays in Carrickmacross. Heartfelt sympathies to Will and Joanna and Bill’s brothers Brendan, Tony and sister Marianne. What a wonderful man who found time to keep in touch over the passage of so many years especially to visit Richie and Ena. Reunited in heaven with his late wife Mary and may they now both gently Rest in Peace.

I am so very sorry to hear of our dear Bill's passing from this life. He was an integral part of our group of teachers who studied in Trinity College for a Masters in Education. Bill went on to do a Doctorate. We are so shocked and bereft to hear of Bill's passing.
He never missed any of our annual gatherings. His was always the first Christmas card I received, signed simply "from Bill".

So sorry, although he had told us of his cancer diagnosis, we never realised how soon things would deteriorate. My sympathies to his son and daughter and all the family. Again so sorry I wasn't at the funeral. As a group, we have just heard the devastating news.

Bill, I would say, was the central nub of our disparate group. We all loved him deeply. He will be very very sorely missed by us all.

Absolutely saddened and heartbroken to just hear of the death of Bill - he was an anchor of our Trinity Masters group of 1998 - we meet annually and our last trip was in March 2025 in Galway - together with Claire, he kept our group going.
He was sincere, intelligent, interested and always interesting - we will miss him hugely but will always remember him with fondest regard and respect.

My sincere condolences to Will and Joanna - he talked so proudly of you both. Sympathies to all the Lynch family and extended families.

Fear uasal, lách, suáilceach atá imithe romhainn. Go ndéanaí Dia trócaire ar a anam crógach.

Having done MSt with Bill 30 years ago we as a group went away for a walk and dinner overnight every year and Bill missed very few of those outings. A true family man and dedicated educator, I pray he is dancing with his beloved wife for eternity. Bill May you rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to the extended Lynch family on the sad passing of Bill. God grant him eternal rest.

I was saddened today to watch the funeral Mass of a very dear friend. We have been friends for nearly 50 years having met in 1976 when I was at Singore Girls School 2 miles away from St. Patrick’s Iten where Bill was teaching. Our friendship developed through Bills love of sport including athletics. I travelled with the girls team and Bill with the boys team to many athletics events in Kenya. We have stayed in touch through all the ups and downs of our lives since then.
Out contact recently has been very much improved by regular zoom conversations. He was a constant in my life , a good friend whom I will miss greatly. My love to Will and Joanna.
Rest in peace Bill. Jude and Clare.

Sincere condolences to Bill’s family on his untimely passing. I worked with him as part of the Project Maths Development Team.

My deepest sympathy to Joanna and Will, and to all the Lynch family. I first met Bill as in Mt St. Joseph as a 12 year on his first day in secondary school. His young secondary school starting age alone marked him out as a boy of considerable academic ability. Over the years of secondary school and university Bill's generosity, helpfulness, and considerable ability was shown in many ways. Most of all he was a loyal friend. I will miss him.
Suiomh ard i measc na naomh go raibh aige.

So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing! Encountered Bill through his work in NCCA and most recently as a Tutor in Maynooth University. He was an absolute gentleman, a font of knowledge and wisdom on all things education. Sincerest condolences to Bill’s family at this very sad time.

I was very sad to hear of Bill’s passing. I worked with him in NCCA for many years and he was a great colleague. He was always ready to help whatever the problem was be it introducing major curriculum reforms or sorting out the back gate which was jammed shut. Ever resourceful and wise, he was one of the best.
