'A free spirit' - Memorial to be held for Tipperary native after tragic death in Thailand

A memorial service is to take place for Thurles native Anthony (Tony) Scullin, after his tragic passing in April earlier this year.

Scullin was well-travelled, having lived in various towns and cities in Ireland, as well as the US and Thailand, before eventually making Thailand his home.

The Tipperary man is deeply missed by his daughter Aoife Grant, Petra Scullin Janelova, and dearest Cynthia Ezen Banag, extended Scullin and Condon families and a world of extremely close dear friends from Thurles, Kilkee, Dublin, Key West and Pattaya.

The many condolences left for Scullin describe him as a "talented and free spirit", who told stories with a passion and always shared his "love for Ireland" with others.

Scullin was cremated in his home town in Thailand in April, and a memorial gathering is set to take place next week in Tipperary for the beloved explorer.

The memorial gathering will now take place in St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Moyne Road, Thurles, Co. Tipperary at 1:00pm on Saturday afternoon, August 31st, beside the Scullin/Condon family grave site.
