I heard poor Jerry has been unwell for some time now, and hearing of his passing is truely a sad thing.

He was always good for a story, and while he was the focus of a good story or two here he was a pure gent and will be missed.

Condolences to his family and friends.

It is with great sadness that I pass on the information about the death of Gerry Scully from Scully Guns and Tackle in Athlone.

I am shocked about his passing as I was under the impression that he was on the mend.

While people have there stories about him will always remember him for the smile on his face as walked in and I got my first shotgun/rifle/pistol from his store.

RIP Gerry Scully

My thoughts are with his family. I got a txt this morning telling me of his passing which shocked and saddened me.

Cancer is a scourge, It takes no prisoners .
I knew he was unwell several months now.
He will be missed in Athlone where he was as well known as the Shannon that flows through it.
If I was not working; it would be a funeral I would be at.
I hope his family( in some small way) know that at least his suffering and pain is over and he is telling yarns in the sky.

I first met Gerry when he had the shop out at the house in Hodson bay.
I had been in and out of his new shop several times since, always left with a smile.

Hi Guys,

Some of you probably know.

Gerry Scully (Scully Guns Athlone) passed away yesterday after a brief battle with Cancer.

Personally I would have classed him as a friend who always had time for a chat about anything to do with guns/shooting(even if you were not buying.)I'll miss calling to the shop in Athlone when I'm passing for a chat,some stories and a laugh.

He is being buried in Galway tomorrow(Tuesday in Bothar More Cemetery for anyone that may be interested.)

My thoughts are with his wife and family at this time as they try and cope with their loss.

A great character gone...............

Highduck.

I have known Jerry for almost twenty years now, Its such a shock to hear of His passing. he was one good friend, always on top of his game. He always put you before anything else. My daughter has CF and he new it, and whenever I went into him either at his shop or at home he always asked how she was, pure gentleman what a good personn he was. I knew he was ill and offerd him any assistance I could ,he was gracious in his acceptance of help and never made you feel like you were patronising. I will miss him greatly and my thoughts are with his wonderful family tonight.I cant express how much I feel for poor Jerry, but I can now offer my deepest condolences and heart felt sorry for his family,firends and relatives. One funny guy and always there to help you in any situation. He was an amazig charachter who always touched you in Jest or in deepest scicnerty . I will treasure my memories of Jerry and hope that I can replicate his spirit. Good bye good friend. Clinton

I spoke with Gerry recently, a pure gentleman he will be missed. RIP

Shocked to hear this, was in his shop a few months ago and knew nothing of his illness, he was always entertaining with his stories.

I hope he had someone to keep that great shop going.

RIP Jerry

I done business with Gerry since 1998, as said above, i always came away from Gerry with a smile and the feeling of being a friend, - rather than just a customer.
I will miss him. RIP.

Hi All, I just found out that Jerrys shop is open again on a limited basis, Its open from Wedensday to Saturday Inclusive, It was Jerrys wish that the shop remain open and thanks to his good friends and family in honoring his wishes.

Have just come upon this sad news having not been around and I would like to say how sorry I am for Jerry's family on the loss of a true gent.
I used to drop into the shop whenever I was over that way and always left the better for having a good chat with Jerry.

R.I.P. Jerry, a true gentleman, it was a pleasure to have know you.
