You and Brian were kind to me in a difficult time in my life. One day at a time has worked for me in times of personal loss. Brian´s sense of humour is how I recall him.

To Anna and Peter my sincere sympathies to you and Brian's family and all who are mourning his loss.

I last met him at the Crescent College reunion prior to covid, and had the pleasure of enjoying his company during that brief time.

As a classmate, I have pleasant memories of Brian's humour both in the classroom (as he challenged teachers and fellow students alike) and beyond, His excellence and prowess on the rugby field are remarkable as he captained the squad to victory.

Finally, I am happy to be able to be part of the online congregation at his memorial service tomorrow, to wish Brian farewell!

Valerie and I are saddened to hear of Brian's sudden passing.
Having schooled together from 1953 to 1966, played rugby together and golfed when he visited Limerick, I have now lost another important friend far too soon.
Anna, we are devastated for you on your loss. How proud all his classmates and friends were for the enormous success he achieved in his lifetime.
Gone far too soon Brian RIP

GAYNOR, Brian Arthur. Passed away on May 16, 2022. Lovingly remembered by his brother Dermot and sister in law Mary. A champion for his adopted home, he never lost his Limerick roots, his love for Ireland and his interest in all things Irish. Despite the distance we stayed in close contact and Brian's good humour, powerful insights and gregarious company will be sorely missed. Dermot and Mary, Kilkenny Ireland
