I am so sorry to hear of Robert's untimely passing. My deepest sympathy to Tresa and his boys and partner. I am his aunt-in-law sister and we spent many Summers in the Cush and Ferbane. He was always daring, fun and good humored. He wore a Batman T-shirt nearly all one Summer and he's the only person I ever seen climb two walls simultaneously! It is lovely and comforting to hear that he had 2 beautiful boys and that he got to spend lockdown with his mother. 47 is far too young to pass at and I hope that some day you can get some happiness that he wasn't ill and that he will always be remembered as that fair haired, fun and wild boy from London, who fit in everywhere and made everyone around him happy and accepted. RIP Robert

Rob we never go to meet in person but really enjoyed our chats on the phone and online. Really would have liked to meet you. Very smart, funny and kind guy. Ingrid, your mam and all the family are devastated. Rest in peace.

My heart is broken that I will never again see your smiley face across the road Rob. I am so sorry to your family and loved ones. I am so sorry I could not help you more when you were here. I hope you can now rest in peace Rob. Xox

It had been many years since we’d seen one another but after watching yesterday’s service it’s clear the cheek, pin sharp wit , daring, sense of fun, loyalty and empathy I remember Rob having when we were teenagers stayed with him. Sending love, light and strength to his loved ones, friends and family. Viva COE 🤍

Rob, you will be sorely missed by your colleagues at Silverstripe, you were very well liked by everyone that knew you here. May you rest in peace

Rob, we are so sorry to hear that you have left this place. You will be sadly missed by so many. We always remember you for your wit and laughter during our time at antenatal class. It was awesome to know you and we could always rely on some sass reply on Facebook. Our deepest thoughts go out to your beautiful boys who will carry on in your memory.

Dear Rob, Saddened and Shocked. Gone too soon!! I never got a chance to meet you in person. We will miss you. My condolences to the friends and family. Rest in Peace

We’re deeply saddened by the loss of Rob, a respected member of the Silverstripe team. His upbeat spirit, hard work, and the genuine joy he took in talking about his kids left a lasting impression on all of us. During this tough time, please know that we share in your grief. Rob’s contributions were significant, and his memory will continue to inspire us. If there’s anything we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Wishing your family strength and comfort, Joshua and the SilverHawks.

Robert as children you tormented me so much, climbing to the roof of the shed, telling me there were sweets up there and throwing sweet wrappers down at me. I would climb so far and get afraid, being a bit younger. Great times were had when you visited. Your blue BMX was a great bike and lasted a long time.

Robert I am so sorry to hear of your untimely death in New Zealand. It was lovely to meet u on a few occasions in Ireland n London. U will be missed badly by ur family n many friends in Ireland n London May u rest in peace. Amen Regards Tom Kilbride Family friend

Dear Robert, Although I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting you personally, I have been told stories about your lifetime and legacy. You were a cherished member of your family, and your loss will be felt thoroughly for forever more. May your gentle soul rest in eternal peace. I pray for your beloved family, especially your mother Teresa, partner Lynne and children Finn and Tadgh. To quote, ‘those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day’. Ar dheis Dé go Raibh a Anam/a hAnam/a nAnam.

Rob I just cannot believe you are gone and you really have been taken away too young. I met you only a few times and you were always the soul of the parties. You were such a fun loving guy and you really will be missed by many many people. Hope you are at Peace and living your second life up there. Love to you and all your family. RIP Rob and im sure we will all meet again. Sarah x

Deepest sympathy to Tush and gangly family & Rob sons on the sad passing of Rob Have fond memories of Rob coming to Ireland with his mum on holidays , visiting is granny in the Cush. Look over your mum Rob , May your gentle soul RIP

Our dearest beloved nephew Robert. You have left this world too soon, and taken a huge piece of our hearts with you. We have many memories together, those of which we will cherish for our lifetimes. You travelled over from the city of London to rural Ireland to take part in farming work, and excelled in all aspects of agricultural life. We were so lucky to have you not only as a nephew, but also as a dear friend. You were one in a million. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of us, and your legacy will continue with your two sons, Finn and Tadgh. Mo ghrá, go gcuire tú suaimhneas ort.

Sad to hear you're gone. Never had the chance to meet you in person but I have heard great things about you from your wonderful family. As minhas sinceras condolências e descansa em paz.

RIP Robert. Sad to know that I will not meet you in person. I always hear so many nice stories of you. Descanse em paz.

Dear cousin Robert I'm very saddened to hear that you are no longer with us and I will never see you again. I have such wonderful childhood memories of you. We had such great times together meeting up in Granny's house. We will always be here for Auntie Tusha. Ar dheis De go raibh a Anam.

My dear cousin Rob, you have broken our hearts. I cannot believe our time together was cut short. You filled our lives with great joy, happiness and endless belly laughs. Your sense of humour was unmatched, and anyone who had the pleasure of meeting you remarked how thoughtful and caring you were. Your sudden loss has left a lasting, unimaginable pain that will continue for ever more. Your legacy will continue and remain within your two boys, Finn and Tádgh. We will continue to love and cherish our memories together. Go dtuga sibh suaimhneas sìoraì agus neamhaì.

Dear Rob, Very sad to hear of your passing. Gone too soon. We will all miss you dearly. I won't forget the funny stories and mischief. Suaimhneas síoraí ♥

I met Rob when we worked together in Auckland back in the mid 2010s, and we became friends and stayed in regular contact when we went our separate ways. I loved Rob's wit and his whimsical sense of humour. Sharina an interest in world events, together we made light of a lot of situations, because sometimes all you can do is laugh. But now the world's a little darker without him. You're sorely missed, my friend.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Rob's family, friends, partner, Kris and his two sons. I am joined by Joanna and Jimmy who are very saddened, we will always remember and cherish these fun, happy, precious moments in his company. His warmth and welcoming personality was a gift enjoyed and appreciated by many. much love to all, Marie, Joanna and Jimmy

My lovely cousin Rob. I just can't believe you're gone. I was so sure we had more time... I have so many amazing memories of you over the years, from trips to London and when you visited us in Ireland. You even lived with us for a while. So many laughs and good times. You cracked us up constantly. Family was everything to you. Our hearts are breaking that there'll be no more time together. Please watch over us, especially your Mum and your two beautiful boys. I take some comfort in thinking of you and Declan having the laughs up there! Who could possibly have thought you'd be together again so soon. Love you forever and cherish the memories. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

So sorry to hear off Robs passing. Your Mum always spoke about you and your 2 boys, her love for you always shone through. Deepest sympathy to you Teresa. Rip Rob

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Robert 🩵🩵 Your Mom spoke fondly about you . Thinking of your family especially your Wife and sons And of course your Mom . May you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️ Elaine,Marie and Corey xx

Dearest Tusha When I heard of Rob’s sudden & unexpected passing, my first reaction was stunned disbelief quickly followed by a deep sadness that I would never see or hear from him again in this life & how young a man & father he was. When we lived across from you & John in Prince of Wales Rd. your Rob & My Becky got on well together being of similar age. It seemed like Rob was physically attached to a skate board in those days. Seeing him grow into the man he became always good for a laugh great company. Being at his wedding the appropriate progression then on to fatherhood of 2 beautiful boys who, unfortunately I only saw through lovely pictures & never met. I always thought one day Rob would bring his Sons Fionn & Tadhg over & I would one day meet them, alas that was not to be. I send deepest sympathies & condolences to Rob’s partner & his 2 young sons. Tusha my heart goes out to you, we’ve been friends a very long time & stayed close through good times & bad, happy & sad, which has bonded each other over the years. I never expected this in my lifetime nor in yours. It is bad enough losing your partner but your son you should not be losing it’s not natures way. I know that is the ultimate loss & I know you are feeling the most devastated & the deepest desolation. This too will soften with time, although there will always be a hole in your that nothing can fill but your Memories will last forever. As long as you hold onto Rob in your heart he will not die. Until you meet-up again in the next life. With no more tears no more growing old no more pain or mourning. Just love Peace & Happiness.. My Thoughts are with you. It will be a privilege to watch Rob’s Funeral & say my own goodbyes. Love Always Dotty Pooh & the Family. Deepest Sympathy & Condolences 💐💔♥️💙😢🍁🍂

Deepest condolences to Tush and the gangly family on Rob’s passing , fond memories of rob coming to Ireland with his mum on holidays to visit his granny in the Cush as a young boy . May your gentle soul RIP

Dearest Rob Hard to believe you are no longer with us. You spent many hours with me as a little boy. I watched you grow up to be a lovely young man. May you rest in piece . Margaret x

My deepest condolences to Rob's family. I had the chance to met him at company event and he left a great impression. His kind smile will be missed. May he find eternal peace.

Dear Teresa, We are so sorry to hear of your son Roberts sudden passing. You spoke so fondly of Robert often and it was clear you were so proud of Robert & your grand children. We know you were so excited about your upcoming trip in the new year. We are thinking of you at this very difficult time and we hope that you will be able to find some comfort in the wonderful memories that you and Robert shared. May Robert rest in eternal peace.

Fionn, Tadhg, I have not met you or your dad, Robert. I am a relative of your granny Teresa. Two days ago I called to Teresa’s house here in County Offaly. Maureen was there offering her support and company. We talked a while about you Fionn and Tadhg, and about your dad. It was great to hear how wonderful you are. After a cup of coffee we prayed together for a few moments remembering the words of Jesus “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am with them”. There in Teresa’s house, many miles and hours away from you in New Zealand, we brought you very close to us in prayer and through the blessing given to Teresa and Maureen. It was a special moment, difficult, sad and very emotional - but special. There was love in that room. Then we prayed for your dad - that he may rest in peace. He’s special. I hope that you and your granny find strength and comfort from your friends and family everywhere. God bless you all. Fr. Pat Browne

The universe did it's gypsy magic to bring us together. It's once in a lifetime you meet your other half and you were mine and I was yours. Thank you for loving me like no other has and no other will. Have the nest ready for when we meet again. Lynne Xx

Deepest sympathy to you Teresa and extended family of Rob at this very difficult time. May His Gentle Soul Rest In Peace

Rob, When I think of you and our friendship a genuine interest in my wellbeing comes to mind. You were a kind and gentle soul, and a feeling of warmth hits me when I think of how I remember you. Thank you for being a fabulous friend during our time and I pray for your peace now. Lots of love Kimmie (Somboooooòdddyyyy) I know you know xxx Rest easy my friend xxx

Our families have been intertwined for as long as I can remember. It seems like just yesterday we met at Fleet Playcenter during the Summer Holidays of 83. The most wonderful thing was you never let the system we grew up in take away that playfulness and curiosity that helped us bond throughout the years to come. That majestical playground was always with you and always will be. No matter how far away life took you, you always felt right by our sides to protect and care for us, and it will always feel that way forever. Rob Ganly. Always mystical yet logical and with a cat-like bounce to everything you do. My eternal love and support are with his loving mother Theresa Ganly, his wonderful sons Fionn and Tadhg and all of Rob's loved ones. May your soul rest in peace and your spirit run free. Miss you my brother! 🍀❤️

Big Man - we met working together and got on instantly . A shared love of silly jokes one of the reasons. Was looking through all our texts and tweets the other day since you moved to NZ. You never changed , your humour, thoughtfulness , kindness and love for your boys shone through . Rest easy my friend , you lived life as a gentleman xx

Dear Rob so sorry to hear of your passing my deepest sympathy and condolences to your family and friends, you will be sadly missed RIP mate 🙏

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved Rob,RIP,Julie💕💕💕💕🌷🌷

Dear Rob I can't believe that you're not here anymore, that I'll never get another message from you or share another joke or endlessly plan my trip to come out and see you, which I never did and will always wish that I had. I wish I'd not taken for granted that there wasn't all the time in the world to come see you. I have so many good memories of you, so many laughs. But really I wish we could go back to being young and living opposite each other or down the road from each other again. IThats how I will always see you in my head. Auntie Tushes son, the boy I had a crush on. I'll always miss you, I'll miss the conversations we had and the ones that we will never have now. I love you mate. Rest in Peace until we can hang out again. 💙

Deepest condolences to the ganly family on the sad passing of rob may he rest in peace

Dearest Rob, my first love... at 47 it's gone too soon. I wish there hadn't been two decades of no contact. I'm so glad you found a lovely life in New Zealand and had two sons. One looks just like you! Thank you for the 12 years on and off of our relationship, buying a home together, getting purple. I hear you still love cats. I kept all your creative doodles, letters, art and inventive, creative poems and words. My boys have heard a lot about you. Both skateboard, have heard of Coe and all that came with that era, you have influenced their taste in music, loving A Tribe Called Quest, The Guru, Herbie Hancock and Paul Weller to name just a few. They have tried to mimic your agility and strength, knowing how you would spring over fences, have a lightness, an ability to fall safely. I will ever remember your mischievous ways, your love, your humour and energy. A bit of you will always remain in my heart. I truly hope where ever you are now, your soul rests. Love always, Olivia xxx

You left too soon but you'll never be forgotten. You were so kind and so funny. I'm going to miss our chats so much. Good night and rest in peace lovely Rob 🙏

Condolences to Teresa and family my Rob soul rest in peace
