I am shocked and saddened one of the good guys.

Don’t know if his obituary picture was recent but I always assumed him to be an “older” gentleman. While it’s obviously very saddening anyway it’s even more so if he was as young as the picture suggested.

Ahh, bummer, RIP Ronan.

Sad news indeed, we'll miss him. Thanks Daveboy for the news.

Oh no, Poor Ronan. That's so sad, I missed his postings they were always entertaining.
Condolences to his friends and family. @Daveboy thanks for letting us all know, as Roofman says he was one of the good guys.

Don't know what to say. We forget that despite our differences and occasional disagreements this really is the equivalent of the local social club and we all pretty much get on. I'd have a pint with just about everyone on this forum.

Real Shame.

Heartbreaking. RIP Ronan

I didnt know or have any interaction with him but its still very sad,he doesn't look that old, As a fellow welder,Condolences to his family and friends.

How very sad indeed. He was a fixture on here for as long as I can remember and will be missed by many of us.

 

[pedrobedro]

Very sad to hear, and even more gut wrenching given it was a day after his Mom passed, that unfortunately cannot be coincidence .

People do die of a broken heart.

We had a customer it happened to, awful

I don’t know or wish to comment on his passing, but if I recall in a post of his, he was inconsolable about the expected death if his mother. Very sad really, RIP Ronan, I hope you’ve found the workshop in the sky!

Hi All,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but I'm afraid Ronan passed away on Feb 3rd 2022, the day after his mum.

I've only found out today as I spotted his post while looking for info on my Colchesters drive belts and decided to touch base with him.

I hadn't seen him for a few years, He used to come down and use my workshop from time to time and was hands down the best Tig welder I have ever seen, an absolute artist. A fine machinest too. We shared an interest in classic bikes as well as engineering, except he lived the dream riding a lovely Triumph on the road !

Here's his death notice: https://rip.ie/death-notice/ronan-walsh-sandyford-dublin/485518

May Ronan rest in peace,

Dave
