Michael Gill ‘was never stressed and the passengers loved him’
Local councillor Colm Murray said the tight-knit community of Kenagh had been left reeling by the news.
Mr Gill had previously worked for a number of years with locally based and family-run bus service provider Farrelly’s Coaches before joining Bus Éireann towards the end of last year.“I only rang him last Monday to see how he was getting on and if he wanted to come back,” said Mr Farrelly. “Michael was just a lovely gentleman, a quiet man, inoffensive and even tempered. And because he was such a capable driver, he was never stressed and the passengers loved him.
Cllr Murray said aside from the professionalism and dedication the late Mr Gill showed to his profession, the Kenagh man would be remembered more fondly for his caring and empathetic manner.
