Family and friends remember Noel Walsh as a much-loved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, neighbour and friend whose gentle presence left a lasting mark on all who knew him. Late of Moonloun, Tramore and formerly of Butlerstown, Noel was at the heart of a family who loved him deeply, and his passing is felt with great sadness by Ellen, Dermot, Yvonne, David, Brendan, Melissa and all those whose lives were shaped by his kindness. In the words shared by those who knew him, Noel was “a lovely man,” “such a lovely man,” and someone who “always had a smile for when you meet him,” simple words that say so much about the warmth, ease and goodness he carried through life.

People remember Noel not only with sadness, but with gratitude for the memories he leaves behind. One neighbour recalled, “I have fond memories of him when I lived in Moonlaun,” while another family remembered him with “fond memories of a lovely gentleman.” Those words reflect the quiet legacy Noel leaves behind, a life rooted in family, community, decency and love. May Ellen and all the Walsh family find comfort in the many lovely memories now being shared, and in knowing that Noel will be remembered with great fondness by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Late of Moonloun, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Butlerstown, Co. Waterford. Noel passed peacefully with his loving family by his side on Saturday the 20th of June 2026. RIP.

Family and friends remember Martin Weller as a man whose life was filled with music, laughter and friendship. Born in the north of Ireland, living in Co. Down, Co. Derry, Devon and finally Tramore, Martin carried with him a warm spirit that made friends wherever life took him. He was a devoted husband to Jane and a loving father to Michaela, Coleen, Kieran and Rosie, whose love and support meant everything to him. Those who knew Martin speak of a man who was generous with his time, easy with a smile and happiest when sharing music with others. One friend simply described him as “a lovely man, great musician,” while another recalled the many evenings listening to him play at The Ledger. Fellow musicians fondly remembered the Raglan sessions, where Martin was “always happy to offer advice and lend a guitar”, a quiet act of kindness that said so much about the man he was.

Martin leaves behind memories scattered across places, songs and friendships that lasted a lifetime. He was remembered for his humour, his gentle nature and the chats people looked forward to each day. Staff at Cherry Grove Nursing Home spoke of how he would be “sadly missed for daily chats”, while others remembered “good times with Martin” and “many a good laugh”. These simple words reveal a life well lived, one rich in companionship and generosity. Though his music has fallen silent, its echoes remain in the stories shared by family and friends, in the kindness he showed to others, and in the hearts of Jane, Michaela, Coleen, Kieran and Rosie. Martin’s was a life that touched many, and his memory will continue to play on in all those who had the privilege to know him.

Late of Cairn Dubh, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Co. Down and Co. Derry and Devon, England. Martin passed peacefully on June 18th, 2026. RIP.

Family and friends remember Janet Dunphy as a woman whose warmth and kindness made people feel instantly at ease. A devoted wife to Michael, a loving mother to Stephen, Julie and Jason, and a proud Nana to Dillon, Zackie, Leah and Emma, her family was the joy and purpose of her life. She adored every moment spent with them and treasured watching her family grow, especially becoming a great-grandmother to little Soph. The many messages shared following her passing paint a picture of someone who was genuinely loved by all who knew her. One friend wrote that she was “such a lovely lady, always had little chats in the shop,” while another remembered how she “always had a smile, a wave, or a friendly hello for everyone she met.” Those who worked alongside her described her as “such a beautiful person,” and many simply said she was “a lovely lady” whose kindness left a lasting impression.

Janet was part of the everyday heartbeat of Tramore. Whether catching up with neighbours, sharing stories with friends, or welcoming people with her cheerful nature, she had a gift for making others feel valued. One neighbour fondly recalled hearing Janet chatting over the garden fence as they grew up, remembering her as “a lovely, kind presence in our neighbourhood.” Another wrote that after their own difficult bereavement, Janet always had “a lovely gentle kind few words” and that “her family meant so much to her.” Perhaps the words that capture her best came from those who knew her longest: “A great woman who lived for her family… she loved you all, especially her grandchildren.” Janet leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter and treasured memories that will continue to live on through Michael, Stephen, Julie, Jason, her grandchildren, her extended family and the many friends whose lives she quietly and beautifully touched.

Late of Riversdale , Tramore, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Lacken Cottage, Kilbarry, Waterford City. Janet passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Sunday the 14th of June 2026. RIP.

Family and friends remember Michael D. Wyse as a man who made people feel welcome from the moment they met him. A devoted husband to Ann, a proud father to Cathy, Conor, Claire and Gary, and a cherished grandfather to Freya, Saffi, Remy, Paddy and Jean, family was always the centre of his world. Many who knew Michael spoke of his warmth, humour and genuine interest in others. One friend fondly recalled him greeting visitors with “a twinkle in his eye”, ready for a chat, a joke and a laugh before the evening even began. Others remembered him simply as “one of life’s finest gentlemen”, a man whose kindness, patience and good nature never changed. Whether sharing stories, catching up with neighbours or spending time with family, Michael had a way of making people feel valued and at ease in his company.

Throughout his life Michael built friendships that lasted decades. Former colleagues from P&T, Telecom and Eircom remembered a dependable and respected workmate who was always willing to help others. Friends recalled happy memories stretching back to the 1960s, while those who met him later in life remembered the same warmth and good humour that stayed with him throughout the years. Particularly touching were the memories shared by those who witnessed the love he had for Ann, remembering how devoted he was to her and how happiest he seemed when they were together. Michael’s legacy is not measured in titles or achievements, but in the countless conversations, friendships and acts of kindness that filled his life. He leaves behind treasured memories that will continue to bring comfort and smiles to Ann, Cathy, Conor, Claire, Gary, his grandchildren, extended family and many friends for years to come.

Late of Grange Park, Waterford City. Michael passed peacefully with his loving family by his side on Tuesday the 2nd of June 2026. RIP.

Family and friends remember William “Elvis” Maher as a proud Portlaw man whose warmth, humour and unmistakable character left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Late of William Street and formerly of Brown Street, Willie was part of the life and memory of Portlaw, through family, friendship, Irish Tanners, the pipe band and the many stories shared across the years. Deeply devoted to his beloved wife Noleen, and proud of Vivienne, John, Anthony, Keith, Damien and Pat, Willie’s family was at the heart of his life. His seventeen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren were part of the great legacy of love he leaves behind. He was remembered as “a true gent”, “a lovely character”, and someone who always had “a joke and a smile”, words that capture the warmth, humour and easy company people will miss so much.

Many of the tributes shared for Willie spoke of old Portlaw, of Brown Street, William Street, pipe band trips, competitions, music, neighbours and friendships that lasted a lifetime. Friends remembered “great times in the pipe band”, “great memories of Brown Street”, and the days when Willie and his pals brought music, laughter and life into the homes and streets around them. One message captured the feeling beautifully, saying that “another little bit of old Portlaw has gone”, taking with it stories, history and memories of a time when friends were friends and neighbours were neighbours. Willie will be deeply missed by Noleen, his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, extended family, neighbours and many friends, but his smile, his humour, his music and the stories attached to his name will live on for generations.

Late of William Street, Portlaw, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Brown Street, Portlaw , Co Waterford. Formerly of Irish Tanners. William passed peacefully with his loving family by his side on Friday the 29th of May 2026. RIP.

Family and friends remember Joseph “Joe” Smith as a man whose kindness, humour and generosity left a lasting mark on countless lives throughout Tramore and far beyond. Late of Meadowbrook, Joe was known not only as a devoted husband, father and grandfather, but as someone who gave his time, heart and energy so freely to others. Deeply devoted to his beloved wife Wilma and forever carrying the memory of his cherished daughter Tess close to his heart, Joe’s family meant everything to him. His adored children Annette, Caroline and Chris, along with his treasured grandchildren Alanna, Olivia, Ciara, Ethan and Jamie, brought him immense pride and happiness throughout his life. But Joe’s love extended far beyond his own family circle. Through years spent as a foster father and as a volunteer with the Special Olympics, he quietly helped and supported so many people, opening his home and his heart whenever they were needed most. One condolence described him beautifully as “kindness personified,” while another remembered him simply as “a gentle giant,” words that captured the warmth and goodness so many people experienced in Joe’s company.

The messages shared following Joe’s passing painted the picture of a man who made people feel welcome, valued and cared for wherever he went. Friends and neighbours remembered “a smile and a chat for everyone,” while others spoke of “that great laugh” and the humour that brightened ordinary days. One touching tribute reflected that “Joe touched many and helped so many,” while another described him as “one of the nicest people you could meet.” Family memories carried the same deep love, with one heartbreaking message reading, “your smile was worth a million dollars.” Joe was the kind of man who people naturally gravitated towards – dependable, funny, caring and endlessly generous with his time. Whether through lifelong friendships, family gatherings, helping others through difficult moments or simply sharing laughter over everyday conversations, Joe made people feel better for having known him. His passing leaves an enormous emptiness for Wilma, Annette, Caroline, Chris, his grandchildren, extended family and many lifelong friends, but also immense gratitude for a life that gave so much love, comfort and happiness to so many people. His kindness and spirit will never be forgotten.

Late of Meadowbrook, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Joe passed peacefully at home with his loving family at his side. RIP May 24th 2026.

Family and friends remember William “Bill” Richards as a colourful, creative and unforgettable man whose stories, humour and character stayed with people long after every conversation ended. Late of Williamstown, Waterford City and formerly of Kilmacanogue, Co. Wicklow, Bill carried with him a love for art, music, friendship and life’s more unusual moments. Together with his beloved wife Audrey, he created memories filled with laughter, warmth and personality for those lucky enough to know them. He was remembered as “such a vibrant, memorable, fun character, and always a gentleman,” and as “an amazing artist with stories to keep you entertained for days.” Whether sharing music, giving accordion lessons, telling stories from a life well lived or simply enjoying good company, Bill had a rare gift for making ordinary moments feel full of colour.

The condolences shared in Bill’s memory speak just as strongly of the bond he shared with Audrey, with one message taking comfort in knowing he is now “reunited with your best friend, Auntie Audrey.” Others recalled “fun times with Uncle Bill and Auntie Audrey” across Cavan, Wicklow and Waterford, remembering elderflower wine, accordion lessons and trips that became treasured family stories. These memories capture Bill beautifully: creative, spirited, generous with his time and impossible to forget. Though his passing brings sadness, there is comfort in the thought that his restless soul has now found peace beside Audrey once more. Bill will be remembered for his art, his stories, his humour and the unmistakable individuality he brought into the lives of those around him.

Late of Williamstown, Waterford City Formerly of Kilmacanogue Co Wicklow. Bill passed peacefully in Tramore Nursing Home on the 18th May 2026.

Family and friends remember Brendan Hayden as a warm-hearted and dignified man whose kindness, humour and gentle presence left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Late of Sweetbriar Park, Tramore and formerly of Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Brendan was remembered time and again as “a true gentleman,” a man who always had time for a conversation, a laugh or a friendly wave. Deeply devoted to his beloved wife Maureen and forever carrying the memory of his son Mark close to his heart, Brendan’s greatest pride was always his family. His children Ann, Fiona and Paul, along with his adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren, brought him immense joy throughout his long and well-lived life. Friends spoke fondly of his easygoing nature, his sharp sense of style and the warmth he brought wherever he went, with one tribute remembering him as “always easygoing and impeccably dressed.” Others recalled how “he never failed to stop for a quick chat and catch up whenever we met,” a reflection of the kindness and generosity that became Brendan’s hallmark over many decades.

Brendan’s passing has left a deep sadness throughout Sweetbriar and beyond, where he was regarded with enormous affection and respect. Neighbours described him as “such an institution in Sweetbriar,” remembered for “a smile, a wave and guidance,” while others reflected on the many talents and quiet gifts he shared so naturally throughout his life. One particularly touching condolence captured the breadth of his impact beautifully: “From Musical Society to seeds for our garden we will always remember Brendan.” Whether through music, gardening, fishing trips with friends or simply the comfort of his company, Brendan enriched the lives of so many people in ways both big and small. Another friend recalled meeting him only months ago and finding him “as spritely as ever,” still carrying the same warmth and gentle spirit that defined him all his life. Though his passing leaves an enormous void for those who loved him, Brendan’s legacy of kindness, humility and quiet goodness will continue to live on in the hearts, stories and memories of all who knew him.

Late of Sweetbriar Park, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Tullamore, Co. Offaly. Brendan passed peacefully with his loving family by his side on Wednesday the 20th of May 2026. RIP.
