Gene - You were a friend, an mentor and someone I will forever dearly miss. Your impression on me, my family and my life cannot be overstated. Always giving - with time, advice, love and care. I have so much to thank you for. — with Geno and sean mcbreen

Deepest sympathy to all the McCarthy family on the untimely passing of Geno. Great memories of our time in London in the 1970s.

I can't get my head around this tragedy. There was nobody you would want behind you in the scrum more than Geno, and there was nobody better than him if push came to shove: he never backed down from anything or anyone. A giant of a heart with the cheekiest of smiles and a quiet way of making himself known. I loved the Big Fella.

Geno, it was great to have you with our family this past April. You have been so good to us! We will miss you, but, when we have our bonfires and crack open a pint, your stories will be the first to our lips.

Godspeed my great friend.
