Words are not enough to express my gratitude for the greatness of Tom. He was a true, loving family man and a real supporter of local community. Working alongside him in 1973/74 teaching music to students at St Canice“s School was always fun and inspiring. He truly welcomed everyone into his world and cared for us all. Thank you, Tom. Be at peace. Marion and family, know he is with you always.
