Truly sorry to hear of the death of Tommy. I got to know him when I was in Ballymote
Primary school in 1951 through playing football in what was then, I think, the fairground. It is a very long time ago but I remember him all these years later as a very nice lad. To Dympna and the rest of his family we send our sincere sympathy. Ar sli na firinne go raibh se.

Deepest sympahy to the McGovern family on the passing of Fr Tom, a great man who was very close to God. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Condolences and deepest sympathies to all Fr Tom’s family and friends.

I met Tom first 1976, then as a bright red-head mechanical-electrical engineer, and all before he was ordained and before his passion for writing took off. He had an infectious and lifelong conviction for spreading St Josemaría’s message of finding holiness and happiness in sanctifying everyday life. Most friendly, most congenial, with a very sharp intellect, he was someone eager to understand, befriend and engage with others. I also remember from a few instances how persuasive he was when it came to winning people over in situations which might otherwise have been a little confrontational. An 'always-available’ priest, he was a great spiritual guide and a wonderful and incisive preacher, who brimmed with an over-flowing love for Christ and Mary. Fr Tom’s unwavering lively faithfulness to his vocation was inspiring. It’s an underlying trait that just flows from his wonderful writings, much of which are aimed at bringing to light the great fruitfulness which flowed from the deep fidelity of others to their Christian calling.

Suaimneas sioraí do. Ar dheis láimh Dé go raibh a h-anam dílis.

Our sympathy to Phil and Dympna and all. Fr. Tom was a holy and gentle priest. RIP.

Our condolences to the McGovern family and friends.
May God rest Fr. Tom's gentle soul.

Our paths crossed in the early 1970s. I found him a kind and compassionate priest, a fellow son of Sligo. May his soul enjoy the company of his God,whom he served so well. Poor health keeps me his funeral but I want his family and friends to know that I am deeply sorry for their loss.

Deepest sympathy from me and my family to all Fr Tom’s family. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace Fr Tom. A life well lived in the service of so many. May you now know the reward of your faith. From all in Belfast.

Rest in eternal peace Fr. Thomas. Our lady of knock pray for him

To Dympna, Phil. Sheila and Enda and the extended McGovern family. Deepest condolences on the occasion of the very sad death of Father Tom. I grew up in Ballymote with him. He was a gentleman of the highest calibre and a brilliant academic and author. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
