JOHN MCENROE

I never knew you, Mr McEnroe, but I watched you on T.V. during the late 70's/early 80's - The Glory Days of Tennis - cheering on your uber talented son, John Jr. I especially recall that 'legendary' Men's Singles Final match at Wimbledon, between your son and (my Idol) Bjorn Borg, in the summer of 1980, I can see you now, sitting with your wife and family members/friends in the Player's Box, watching John 'just' miss out on stealing Bjorn's Beloved Wimbledon Crown. It was one giant nerve jangling rollercoaster ride of a match - hence many many people 'still' talk about 'that match' almost 40 yrs later!!! You were also there, Sir, the following summer to see your greatly talented son lift the All England Club trophy for the very first time and become 'Wimbledon Men's Singles Champion'. I know you will have been 'so proud' of your son, as, naturally, you should have been.
Mr McEnroe, I don't know exactly 'why', but I was really saddened to hear of your passing. I am certain John Jr, and indeed, all of your family, will miss you a great deal. RIP Sir and God Bless you and your family.

My wife, Vernelle and I recently learned of the passing of Mr. McEnroe. He was a good friend and classmate of my late father, Joseph FitzPatrick at Fordham Law School where they carpooled on occasion and played handball to alleviate the stress of working and going to law school at night which is a tough task for anyone to do to say the least. I think the proudest day of my Dad's life was graduating from Fordham Law on Edwards Parade in May 1964 with his classmates including JP, Sr.. No one rooted and cheered more for JP Junior at Wimbledon and the US Open more than my late Dad, my late Mom Kathleen, myself as well as my brother Brian and sister Mary Kay. I still remember when Mark lifeguarded at Strathmore Vanderbilt in the late 1970's. Those were great days. Our deepest condolences to the McEnroe family! Chris, Vernelle & Anna FitzPatrick

Hello This is Gayle and Oliver

Hello This is Oliver I am so sorry for your loss.

John McEnroe Senior was a true gentleman. He genuinely loved his wife and three sons. I knew son John and had the pleasure of meeting his Dad on several occasions, including a few coffees at the All England Club.

I had the pleasure of spending some time with John at the Lotos Club. I think I carried a chair for Mrs. McEnroe across the room one night and John and I bonded over some good wine. I did not know He was John McEnroe , just John. What a great man. Laurie and I are sorry to hear of your loss.

I can't think of anyone (next to my own father) who was a better dad. RIP Mr. McEnroe & condolences to Kay, John, Mark, Patrick, & family.

Deepest sympathies too all the family.

Dear Kay,

My admiration for your husband, your sons and particularly for you, goes way back to the days when the boys were at The Trinity School.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to your entire family.

My hat is off to you for the strength, grace and success with which you are able to handle all of your important responsibilities during such a difficult period.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. Our 45 year friendship included working together on deals and having hilarious lunches at "21" and other fabulous restaurants. He was a great man and I will miss him dearly. My deepest sympathies go out to his loving family.

Kay...
My condolences to the entire McEnroe family.
As a tennis umpire I had the pleasure of knowing your very close family off the court.

I can still picture him at Patricks bachelor party wearing a Santa hat and cracking some pretty funny jokes.. God Bless...

My condolences to the McEnroe family. I had the privilege of learning under John when I was a young associate at Paul Weiss.

You are an angel Kay. You stood by him for some many years.

My condolences to the McEnroe family. I had the pleasure of working with John on the Board of Directors at the Irish Rep. He brought warmth and humor everywhere he went. RIP

Sorry to hear the passing of John McEnroe. I have always enjoyed watching him play tennis. To me he was one of the greatest ever.

To the McEnroe Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Dearest Kay
my sincerest condolences to you,the three lads, and all the family on JP's passing
many very happy memories of fun times in his company
sorry that I cannot make the Mass on Friday but all the McEnroes will be in our thoughts and prayers on Friday
