WARM tributes have been paid to the former Limerick Leader graphic artist and cartoonist Seamus Donelan.
Seamus, who passed away on Christmas Eve, was well-known for producing his cartoons, entitled As Donnelan sees it, a deliberate misspelling of his surname.
He was also the first ever graphic artist at the Limerick Leader, and this newspaper’s long-serving former editor Brendan Halligan described him as “gentle, humble and kind”.
“Seamus was an ingenious graphic designer, an entertaining cartoonist and a trailblazing professional. But he was more, far more than even that. The perpetual glint in his eye lit up the lives of us all,” he added.
