Such fond memories of Eddie from The Mount days. Love and Light to all that held Eddie close. Will always remember when Eddie was leaving a doo, and in his accent he'd quip - As they say in Russia....Moscow.
Godspeed Eddie

To Eddie's family

I worked with Eddie at Kerry as part of the ANZ team. As a colleague and as a leader he was great fun to be around.
I am very sorry to hear of his passing and want to express my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to you all.

I worked with Eddie at Kerry. I did not know Eddie at all until I met him in the US at a sales training session circa 2012. I sat at the same table with him for 2 days during the training session and I had the best time sitting beside him for those 2 days. I made a comment to Eddie about how I liked his pen and he insisted that I take his pen and he gave it to me. I made sure to clutch the pen when I heard the news about Eddie. During our training session our instructor made participants sing if you were late during the breaks. I am convinced that Eddie showed up late on purpose so he could sing. He did not disappoint and everyone loved his performance. What a great man and thank you Eddie for coming into my life. You made an impact on me in a very short period of time. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gavigan family. Respectfully, Kelly Mullarkey.

To Sharon and family, our thoughts are with you.

Eddie was truly larger than life. I have so many happy memories of our times at Kerry (yes, a lot of those out of hours'!); always there with a great story and a laugh. I'll really miss that. One thing for sure, I can't picture Eddie resting in peace where he is now they've just welcomed a force of nature!

Sincere sympathy with the loss of Eddie. I worked with Eddie at Baxter Healthcare where we had a lot of laughs and although I was in Chch Office we had good communication skills also when we met up

Sincere condolences to Sharon and family. I will miss greatly a great colleague and wonderful friend.

I was so very sad to hear about Eddie and my thought are with his wife Sharon, family and friends at this time. Eddie, Liam Kennedy and I played together many years ago with Morton F.C. in Scotland and we became great friends. He will be sadly missed. He was a great player, a great guy and the best of friends. I will miss his smile and his wonderful laugh. Till we meet again pal.
