Obituary
Gerald J. McMahon
Gerald J. McMahon died at his home in Scarsdale, New
York on July 25th, 1984. He had been associated with the
International Bar Association since its foundation in
1947. He served the Association as Secretary General
from 1956 to 1976 and was, in recognition of his service,
elected an Honorary Life Member of the Council of the
Association.
During his period as Secretary General the Association
had not yet gained its present healthy stature and it was
due to the selfless toil of Gerald McMahon that the
Association owed its survival through that arduous
period. He, without any compensation other than his love
for the I.B.A. and what it stood for, devoted his time and
energy to its activities, arranging for its Meetings and
Conferences including the memorable Conference in
Dublin in 1968. All those who came in contact with him
during these years can testify to his warmth and charm.
During his seventy-four years he had a distinguished
career in law from 1933 to 1983 interrupted by his service
during World War II, when he served in the American
Army rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was
ever ready to give generously of his time to all who called
on it whether in worldwide organisations or in his home
village of Scarsdale. He will be sadly missed by his wife
Jane, and their children and by all who were privileged to
know him. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a ainm.
