It was with great shock and sadness that we learned of the untimely death of Gerry Dillon on Saturday 24th November, 2007. Gerry was a great clubman and was always eager and available to help out. He was truly one of natures gentlemen and was above all good company, a good story teller with a roguish sense of humour. He had a great passion for all things Irish - sport, culture, song, dance and music. he was a proud Sligo man when Sligo won the Connacht championship this year. His company and conversation was always inspiring and lively. Always available to listen and give useful and helpful advice. His outstanding personal qualities endeared him to his many friends. The way he bore his illness was a testament to his positive outlook and his immense dignity and courage, and he never burdened anyone with complaints about his illness. All who knew him in any capacity morn his loss, and are the poorer for his passing. We offer out sincere sympathies to Gerry's wife Mary, children- Laura, Mary and Mark and all his relations and friends. They can justly remember him with pride and affection. We mourn his untimely passing and offer out sincere condolences. His untimely passing and offer our sincere condolences. His untimely death is a loss of immeasurable magnitude to his wife and family and the community. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Ni beigh a leithid an aris. Ar dheis De go raibh a ainm dhilis.
