Sincere sympathy to all the Shannon family from wedding usher of many years ago.
Eileen and myself are so sad to hear of the Death of Fintan. He was always a friend first, and outside his work place( Sligo University Hospital), never was Dr Shannon. I personally will miss my friendly chats he and I shared, so often.
Rest In Peace, dear friend, Dominic. Boyce.
Ps. Our three children Karl, Shane and Lynda extend their sympathies to the Shannon Family.

Dr. Shannon treated me over a number of years when I was a child with Perthes disease and again when I was a teenager having injured myself playing rugby. I would never have been able to do the latter without his expertise in the former. However, it is his kindness and deep humanity that I always remember when I think of him. The world is lessened by his departure. Deepest sympathies to his family.

Sincere sympathies to Fintan Sarina and extended family members on the passing of your Dad. May he rest in peace. Thinking about you at this sad time.
My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Shannon on his passing. I was under the care of Dr. Shannon as a young child when I had severe hip dislocation. The surgery he performed was a phenomenal success, so much so that I was able to carry a twin pregnancy to full term in adulthood with no hip issues! I remember meeting him for checkups and he was always so lovely. I am so fortunate to have been under his care, and I am sure so many others can say the same. May he rest in peace.
My sincere sympathies to Edel, Ann Marie, Fintan and Tony on the passing of your lovely dearest dad. I have the fondest memories of him and your mum growing up and will always remember their kindness. Sending you all loads of love ❤️ xxx
