Dear Brenda and the Byrne family, I am very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We will all miss him. He had a terrific and natural rythmic ability on the drums with the pipe band. He knew the patterns of music as well as anybody, even without seeing written music, as he had a very good ear for the cadence of tunes. And we have the music for a pipe tune he wrote himself which we will cherish in his memory. We enjoyed playing and listening to music together, including a couple of trips to Maxville over the years. With my sincere condolences, Michael

Len & I were very sorry to hear of Dick's passing, he was a very kind man and we sure enjoyed all of our chats at the shop. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Len & Cindy Murphy

Dearest Dick .. I was so sorry to hear of your passing , how I loved our ole crazy calls where we could literally spend the whole time talking about Crows, coyotes, squirrels , dogs and whatever critters that came up. You even christened me crow woman … which will make me smile whenever I think of it… I’m so delighted that you came to visit in 2017 and we got to drive up n down the by roads of Castledermot and talking about your wonderful childhood adventures. . It was such a blessing you got home with Mick that time. Killeshin pipe band night of course being a highlight and how they were so delighted to meet you. You were such a unique wonderful character Dick and you have left us with many a tale , including your memoir and poetry. Which we will treasure always My deepest condolences to Brenda , Jim, Michael , Kelley , Brandon , Frances , Mary and all your relatives and many many friends. .. who are going to miss you… but know that you are free from pain and illness and resting in peace and tranquility in heaven.., God bless you always Uncle Dick and God bless all who were lucky enough to have known and loved you. ☘️🕊️❣️

I was only 10 yrs old when Dick arrived. Right from the beginning Dick was a beautiful quiet baby with the most beautiful blue eyes. It brought me so much joy wheeling this little baby up and down the terrace . I loved him then and always have and always will. Dearest Dick may your beautiful soul be reunited with our loved ones in heaven … and until we meet again, thank you for your precious memories .. your loving sister Peig

Dick was a great man, cut from the old fabric that never fades. He was a true friend to my father Jack. They shared a love of mother nature and all her many creatures. I will never forget Dick and am proud to call him my friend. God bless you Dick. My condolences to Dick’s daughter Kelly, and all of the Byrne family.

A great man among men and Fine boy among boys. Had so many great hunts with Dick and gifted him with a Bowie knife with a handle of a shed he supplied . Enjoyed wonderful fellowship in his basement looking at his mounts. Having the odd smoke. Dick was such a kind and caring friend. He would open his freezer and gift me with wonderful venison treats. Scared the hell out of me with the Big white dog. Jack Russell I could handle. Will always be on my mind. Neck lace with gold plated trigger forvBrenda. For his special Lady . Keep the paradiddle sharp and a slug in the Barrell. I will keep you in my tobacco dream pouch. Travel well my friend. You are one in a million. Proud to know you. Enjoy your journey. Till we hunt again.

So very sorry to hear of Uncle Dick’s passing. Sincerest condolences to all who loved him. A man honest and true. He was our own cross between Jeremiah Johnson and Grizzly Adams. Rest well Dick. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilís. Carol Brian Seán and Adam.

We extend our deepest condenses for the loss of Dick to the entire Byrne family. We both had the privilege of playing music with Dick and we were often amazed by his unique ability to recall any tune and whistle it out to the benefit of the entire pipe band. Each of those moments will always be a cherished memory of him. May your own memories also keep him close to your hearts today and each day that follows!
