Greetings

Sending sincere condolences to Heather, Ciaran, Ronan and all the family circle. Although we haven’t been in touch for many years, we remember Declan as a very special person who had a big impact on our lives. Fiona worked with him in CMSI in the mid-eighties and fondly recalls him in his trademark Icelandic jumper. He was a warm and open-hearted colleague, with a gift for drawing people into Mission and always ready with a big bear hug when you needed it! Later he visited us both when we were teachers in Dodoma, Tanzania and made a great impression. He spent time listening to all the Mission personnel, praying with us and generally encouraging us with his spiritual counsel and good humour. He was a lively speaker too – often producing his guitar & launching into an impromptu African praise song at the end of his talks & sermons. A few years later he preached at our wedding in Eglantine parish, Hillsborough (sharing the service with Cecil Wilson and Fiona’s rector William Bell) and true to form he burst into a rendition of “Jabulani Africa” from the pulpit! One of Roger’s abiding memories was when Declan was a guest in his house & he took the trouble to tackle a large pile of washing up, leaving it all clean and neatly stacked - a rare example of servant leadership. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

miss you everyday

Conor was a wonderful friend and mentor. He will be missed by many friends who knew him at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormandy Street, London.

I listened to Seamus Conroy tonight and found he has passed. He signed his CD to me at Buratty on September 14, 2013, my first trip to Ireland. His music was so beautiful. I am saddened by his passing so early in life. His music was so beautiful. RIP Seamus. Thank you.
