Gerry Conlon

Do you mean songwriter Gerry Goffin or Gerry Conlon of the Guildford Four?

What he typed. Jesus, look it up before you ask!

RIP Gerry.

Well then, Gerry Goffin has died as well.

I am going out the front Door, RIP Gerry

[Ulick]

Very sorry to hear about Gerry Conlon. Always came across as a brutally honest and articulate man when being interviewed.

He and the others suffered a horrendous ordeal from the moment of their arrests.

I can still vividly remember hearing about their release. Thankfully those days are long behind us.

RIP Gerry.

[Tony Baloney]

15 years in the slammer and physical and mental abuse from the system would contribute to the early demise of any man.

RIP Gerry Conlon. I will always remember his fight for justice and the unforgettable scenes on his release.

The brother of Kolo and Yaya Toure, Ibrahim, has died of cancer at the age of 28.

Had Gerry not been well?

Disgusting what they went through. Read his book a few years ago. A great read, and nothing like the film.

Really sad news about Gerry Conlon. He and his family suffered more than most during the troubles but he was still committed to addressing injustice. We can learn from his life and honour his memory.

[Hardy]

One sad part of it is that they not only took fifteen years of his life, but took the joy from the rest of his life as well. And, if the death penalty hadn't been abolished, they would have taken his life itself forty years ago.

Such sad news about Gerry Conlon. Far too young to die. Ceol na n-aingil go gcloisfidh se.

Well said Hardy. RIP Gerry.

I would imagine a lot of his ill health could be rooted in the conditions he endured. They didn't just take 15 years from the middle, they took 15 off the end also.
RIP.

'I remember the night before I got out, looking up at the sky through the bars at Brixton prison and crying,' says Gerry Conlon, as he sips a Diet Coke in a quiet pub in Belfast's city centre. 'Not crying with joy, but crying with anticipation of what lay ahead of me...because this had become my home.'
