Our families spent so many summers together. Mr O'D I'm sure My mom and dad Pat and Helen Herlihy were there to meet you, game of cards and a drink. All my memories are happy tagging along with the boys and sitting with Mrs O'D. Loved going to the beach with her. So sad we fell out of touch. Hope to change that. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My condolences to the O'Donovan clan for the loss of a great man.As a fellow Corkonian and lawyer Mr. O' Donovan treated me with kindness and respect and always extended sage advice when I needed it.He was also very tolerant and always laughed when seeing my wild boys running around the neighborhood.I think he had lots of experience of that himself!
Kate and I will remember him in our prayers.

To the entire O'Donovan Clan.
I just wanted to send my deepest sympathy on the passing of James.
I had the pleasure getting to know and work with him and some of his family members. He talked about the entire clan often. How much he loved everyone, and that he was so proud of each member. I must say he was one in a million. I will miss his keen wit, laughter and words of wisdom.
He is one "Irish Man" that I will never forget!
Prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time.
Sincerely
Kathleen Doyle
