Rip Tony u legend

My sincere condolences to Dave and all the O'Sullivan family on the passing of Tony. May he rest in peace.

I I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Tony. He was loyal and devoted to his family and his pets and the most obliging person that I have ever met never said “No” to any request. Complex issues were solved over a mug of tea. He was the invisible hand that helped establish the college.
He was well read but he could also read people and suss out any concerns. The discussions during tea breaks were memorable. The Caretakers Office in Premier House echoed to the raucous laughter at lunchtime.
His popularity was evident at his legendary retirement party in the Abberley, when well-wishers poured out on to the street to mark the occasion such was the sentiment.
I last met Tony before the Bruce Springsteen concert last year, having bounced back from a recent health scare. He was in ace form and we bantered all the way up to Croke Park.
It was an honour to have Tony in our lives, even my wife would make him an apple tart at Christmas. His presence enriched everyone he met as we would be regaled with tales, yarns, street wise wisdoms anecdotes and considered opinions. Tony projected an aura of can do as he put everyone else’s concerns before himself.
He leaves behind a chasm that must now be filled with our memories of the times we had in his company with that hallmark wry smile.

I am so sorry to hear of Tony's passing and I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. As a colleague at IT Tallaght, Tony was always so kind-hearted, helpful, funny, gracious and generous. He was a true gentleman. Rest in peace Tony.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of our former colleague and friend Tony. Sincere sympathies to Tony's family at this sad and difficult time. He was the real heart beat of IT Tallaght. A smile, a quick word and always a helping hand. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

So sad to hear the sudden passing of Tony and my thoughts and prayers are with Ben and his family whom he adored. Tony was an absolute gentlemen, helpful, kind and very funny.

RIP Tony you were one in a million.
