Among the many who paid tribute to him today are his friends at Letterkenny Rovers FC where he spent a lot of time.
A club spokesperson said “It his with profound sadness that the club has learned of the passing of Bernard McGlynn.
“A club stalwart all his life, Bernard was an ever present at Leckview Park on match days. Indeed, he spent his final few hours manning the gate, taking in the corner flags and locking up the ground – just like he did for every home game.
“Bernard was a committed and dependable club man who will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathies to Bernard’s family at this sad time.”
