So sorry to hear of Jim’s sad passing. Deepest sympathy to Anne & family. Jim was a proud Donegal man, who loved his adopted Mayo in equal measure. I cherish my last telephone conversation with him a number of weeks ago. He made light of his illness as we talked & laughed about mischievous grandchildren. Jim contributed so much to Ballina both in uniform & in his retirement as chairman of Tidy Towns committee. All done with the minimum of fuss. I envied his command of our native language, which he used at the start of all our retired gardai meetings. Jim, your smiling presence will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. May Jim’s kind & gentle soul rest in peace.

It was with much sadness I learned of the death of our colleague Jim Friel. He was a decent and honourable person who brought much credit to the Garda Siochana and to the Garda Siochana Retired Members Association (GSRMA). I am deeply indebted to our late colleague for his work on behalf of retired Gardai in Mayo and further afield. Much of this went unnoticed; this was in keeping with Jim's way of working for the benefit of others. I extend my sincere condolences and that my colleagues in the GSRMA to Jim's wife Anne, his children Declan, Eithne, Deirde, Fergus, Aoife, the exended family, and colleagues in the Ballina branch of GSRMA. Ar dheis Dè go raibh a anam dìlis.
