With deepest condolences and prayers to all of Séamus’ family relatives, neighbours, and friends. So saddened to hear of Séamus’ passing. Fond and happy memories
of Séamus when I was teaching with Séamus on Staff of the Marist Secondary School in Tubbercurry after Ordination 30 years ago. Séamus couldnt have been nicer… a perfect gentleman, always smiling and good humoured in the Staffroom and in School corridors. He was dearly loved and highly regarded by all, staff, students, and parents -an excellent teacher and great mentor. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé go deo….together with his beloved wife Ann, and other deceased family members and friends. Thinking of you all in prayers and Masses of your loss at this very sad time. Gerry
