Dermot John Morgan (31 March 1952 – 28 February 1998) was an Irish comedian, actor and former schoolteacher, who achieved international renown as Father Ted Crilly in the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted.
Dermot Morgan was born in Dublin in 1952. He attended University College in Dublin, studing English and Philosophy before taking up teaching. In 1979 he made his first appearance on TV as hip priest, Father Trendy. Dermot never gelled with RTE, the main broadcaster in Ireland, and after his satirical radio show Scrap Saturday, was cancelled, he returned to stand up comedy. He went on to make the award winning Father Ted but tragically he died exactly 24 hours after finishing filming the third and supposed final season.
When Dermot died, he left behind his wife Fiona, their young son, and two sons from a previous marriage.
A tragic loss of a great man

Missing you more with each new day

Thinking of our happy times

Feeling very grateful
for the dreams we saw come true,
For every lovely thing we shared
and, most of all, for you...
Treasuring each memory

Remembering familiar things

Life's very hard without you

For all the shared and precious times
grief cannot take away.

Do You Make Them Laugh In Heaven by Sam Winson
Do you make them laugh in heaven?
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter?
Like you did when you were here.
The very mention of your name,
The memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
There's nothing left to say,
Except that without you here,
There is no "Perfect Day"
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles.
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt.
You're so wonderful to think of,
And so hard to be without.
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you shall remain.
To walk with us throughout our lives,
Until we meet again.
Gone but not forgotten Dermot - We still laugh ourselves silly at Father Ted!
It's good to laugh sometimes. xx
