Br. Timothy (Pat) O'Shea

As a young teacher in De La Salle between 1968-1972 was a very inclusive colleague and an excellent organiser, a guiding light in human relations. May Bro Tim rest in peace.

My most heartfelt condolences to the DLS community in Waterford on the passing of Br Tim. A wonderful colleague and friend. May he rest in peace.

Br Tadgh was a towering presence in the school but not in any dictatorial manner. His calming demeanor stood out and I can't recall him being unkind or harsh when there was probably good cause betimes. That so many , myself included, came back to visit was a testimony to his character. Lovely to witness his satisfaction when the school won first All Ireland hurling final. RIP

Very sorry to hear of Bro Timothy’s passing. My sincere condolences to the O’ Shea family. I did my LC in DLS in 88 and I remember him so well. He was a great De La Salle man. May he R. I. P.

Our sincere sympathy to Agnes and all the O'Shea family and also to the De La Salle community on the sad passing of Br. Pat. May he rest in peace.

A gentleman with a huge heart and an unmatched way of making everyone he met feel cared for and loved. He will be sadly missed. Rest in peace dear friend.

Sincere sympathy to the extended O'Shea family and the De La Salle community on the passing of Bro.Tim. He spent many hours/days transcribing lists of names & addresses of pupils from 1949-1968 to assist Daithi Nevins and I in efforts to establish a Past Pupils Fraternity-- and then he would ask what more can he do!! A dedicated and remarkable man.

I was a pupil in De La Salle College in the late 1980s and have wonderful memories of my 5 years there. In more recent times I often met Br.Tim at 10 o'clock Mass on Sunday and he was always in good form, with great support from Br. Tom.
May He Rest In Peace

Greatly saddened to hear of Brother Timothy's passing, I remember so clearly his arrival into our classroom in St. Declan's circa 1957 as it dawned on us that he had no wish to use the cane or leather to educate us. Whenever I met former classmates subsequently he was remembered with great affection and respect. We were lucky to have known 'Timmo' RIP. Condolences to the O'Shea family and the De La Salle community

My heartfelt sympathy on your passing. I will miss our call at Christmas like we did every year. We are praying for you as I know you will be praying for us.

My condolences to the De La Salle family on the passing of my Uncle, Patrick O'Shea.
I remember visiting Uncle Pat and staying at the college one summer, he took us to the Waterford Crystal Factory where everyone knew him. He was a fine man who loved sports, we also went to a Kerry football match. You will be missed Uncle Pat, God Bless.

Very saddened to hear of Brother Tim's passing albeit at a great age, deepest condolences to Agnes and the broader O' Shea Family. Brother Tim was a wonderful man, a proud Kerryman, a great conversationalist with a great sense of humour and a very interesting person to be around. Unfortunately we cant make Castletown for the funeral but you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this very tough time. May Tim rest in peace.

Condolences on the passing of Brother Tim. A lovely gentleman had the respect of pupils and parents alike. He will be much missed in DLS.

Sincerest sympathy to all the family and to the De la Salle community whose outstanding contribution to education has been immeasurable. I have fond memories of my years in Coláiste Íosagáin where the La Salle ethos helped me to a successful career. It was an honour to have known Br.Timothy who will always be remembered for his contribution to Waterford.
I leaba na Naomh go raibh sé.

I was very sorry to learn that Brother Timothy RIP had passed to his eternal reward. What a wonderful man - a mentor , educator and a friend. I was a boarder in the 70s and have only the fondest of memories of Brother Tim. I always enjoyed meeting him in latter years when you came away with a smile and perhaps a tad wiser. He was always enquiring of classmates and seemed to have an encyclopedic memory of who was in your era.
To the O’ Shea family and the De La Salle family the loss is great but his legacy is enduring and he has left his positive mark on all who were fortunate to meet and be guided by him and for many he was that difference maker. May he Rest In Peace

Deepest sympathy to the O’Shea family and to Bro Timothy’s confreres. I had the pleasure of being taught by him in St. Declan’s many years ago. A good man and a true educator.

My sympathy to Br.Tim's family, the De La Salle Brs & Tims loyal friends & past pupils on your great loss. A gentle giant who loved to read the Kerryman paper weekly, loved to talk with confreres & staff in Miguel & by phone to his friends & family..Reading these tributes , he was a respected teacher , colleague & a rock of strength & love in his beloved DLS Waterford..
Rest in peace Br.Tim.

Sincere sympathy to the O'Shea family and to his De La Salle brothers on the sad passing of Brother Timothy. An absolute gentleman & many fond memories of our chats over the years. RIP Bro Timothy.

One of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with. I’ll miss our chats Br Tim. The college hasn’t been the same without you. May your gentle soul rest in peace.

Sincerest sympathy to the Family and the De La Salle Order on the loss of one great gentleman. Brother Timothy was a kind, enlightened and generous man and a faithful follower of Jesus' message in everything he did. A wonderful Maths teacher, he was a continuous support and a friend to boarders in the College and is remembered with tremendous respect and great fondness by all. R.I.P "Tadhg-O"

He was a kind and compassionate gentleman with a great welcoming smile and sense of humour. Rest in peace Brother Timothy, you have earned it.

It is with great sadness that I have learned of Br. Timothy’s passing, an absolute gentleman. I have wonderful memories of my years spent in DLS (65 - 70) under Tim’s guidance.I thank him for giving me a love of mathematics that I carried into my teaching career. It was the lessons I learned from Tin and the other caring teachers in that great school that contributed to my teaching career in Maynooth. Whenever I visited my Alma Mater over the years it was Tim that was there to greet me and over the years I always remember his hospitality and engaging conversations..
Rest in peace Tim you did so much for so many

Heartfelt condolences to Br Tim’s De la Salle and O’Shea families. We met on a visit to Waterford with my dad (a past pupil and boarder) and Tim’s commitment to education and to the DLS ethos remain greatly encouraging in my similar professional life.

Sincere condolences to the O' Shea family and the DLS Order on Br Timothy's passing, a true gentleman who had a great sense of fair play. A boarder in the early 70's I have great memories of his speech after an under 15 and 1/2 hurling victory " It was won because of grit, determination and the will to win" he said. RIP Br Timothy

Sincere condolences to the O’Shea family and DLS order on the passing of Bro Tim.
As a boarder at DLS , 1963-68, I have fond memories of Bro Tim, a kind and lovely man.
Last met him just over a year ago, and was amazed that he could remember his past pupils over 50 years later. He loved telling stories of his days teaching in South Africa.
May he rest in peace.

I was a boarder in Del La Salle in the 80s. Brother Timothy made my experience there for the five years very enjoyable. He was a kind loving man. In later years it was always great to go back and chat with him. He always made you feel you were home. He had such a great passion for Del La Salle hurling and loved so much when they won there first heart. May he Rest In Peace such a great man

Sincere sympathy to the O Shea family on the passing of Timothy Pat. May he rest in peace.

I was a boarder in DLS Waterford from 61-67
Br Timothy was one of the great De La Salle people that I still remember with fond memories
He was a great friend and it was amazing how he remembered everybody’s name when we met up at PPU events which he joined for diner on many occasions.
He will be remembered by all for his decency sense of humour and above all integrity which he displayed when dealing with everybody

Corner stone of DLS college in Waterford and always so charitable, helpful & kind. RIP Brother Timothy.

God be with you Br Tim. Sorry to hear about your passing. When I started working in DLS in 2014 as a teacher you were always nice to not just me but everyone you encountered. Prayers to his fellow DLS brothers and family. I hope you see God.

I got to know Brother Timothy when I was a pupil in De La Salle College in Waterford back in the 80s, and a nicer more genuine person you couldn't meet. The last time I met him a good many years ago he still remembered me.... a mark of the man who took great interest in all his pupils past and present. May God grant him eternal rest.

So sad to learn of the passing of a true gentleman. Sincerest sympathy's to all his family and his colleagues in De La Salle. I got to know him through another good friend who has also passed Br. Anthony, when I was working around Waterford and south east I was under strict instructions to call for the chat and the tea. Br.Timothy gave me bed and breakfast on more than one occasion when he learned I was staying in the area for a day or more. Fond memories of a gentle soul may he rest in peace and reap his rewards. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis, go mbeidh leaba aici i bPálás Dé. RIP.

Rest in peace, Br. Tim. Thank you for all your kindness. It was always such a privilege to be in your company. You were the heart of De La Salle and so loved.

An absolute gentleman, has the pleasure of getting to know him while working on a project in the school, met him a good few years later and he still remembered me, RIP Brother Tim
