Lt Cdr Gerry O'Donoghue passed away this morning in Miami Florida where he had resided for the past number of years.
Gerry served as OC LE Deirdre and OIC Diving in Haulbowline among other things and was well respected.
A tough man,a fair man and a gentle man with a fantastic sense of humour. A brilliant officer . Was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant at 23 years of age. quite a feat.
Due to his initials he was often referred to as GOD, the only difference being the God in the heavens wasn't a naval diver.
Gerry posted here some years back and I re established contact with him.
BZ Sir
