Jim O'Sullivan - son of Dr. Eamonn When I look back now, my memory of my father is that of a large man. He was a very dignified and imposing figure and had to be treated with respect. He wasn't a strict disciplinarian but nonetheless he wanted us to obey certain rules. Still, I would imagine we were brought up in a very strict way by today's standards. However, he was a tolerant man and my feelings for him even as a young teenager and later as a young man were one of love, and respect came from that love.
Eamonn was a wonderful man with a warm spirit and it came across to you when you were in his presence. He was never boring. A journey in the car with him to the country, maybe to attend a sports meeting, was an adventure. He knew exactly all the stories of the places where we travelled through. He loved talking about the towns we passed and the great footballer or hurler they had produced in their time and all of this was presented to me as a young child growing up. He was always close to his county, to his country, to his sport and that rubbed off on us very much.
