Terence CROSS

Last week a remarkable collection of donated books arrived in the School of Philosophy at University College Dublin. Today, to my deep shock and great sadness, I learned who they had belonged to and why they had been passed along. I taught Terence as an undergraduate and masters student (what a brilliant MA thesis he wrote too). He was wonderful. His passion ignited debates, his intelligence improved discussions, and his gentleness made them inclusive. Terence was popular with his fellow students and admired by those of us who worked with him as his professors. We had hoped he would some day join us as a PhD student. It was always good to see him visit us when we had guest lectures and conferences. I looked forward to hearing what he thought of things. A really fine man, I can only imagine how you his loved ones are coping with his loss.

Sincere condolences to Terrys family and friends. Very sorry to hear of his passing. Thinking of you.

So sorry to hear of terence's passing. Sincere condolences to all the Cross family

Terence I visited you in Fanagans in Dundrum. You were so peaceful and as I said to you that you are with the angels now. Home with the Lord. Anna

My sympathies to Susan, Richard and Eleanor, to Julie and to Terry’s many friends.

I remember Terry with great fondness, fortunate to be a friend in our teenage years.

We met on too few occasions as adults but I was always happy to see him and he was always welcoming - a lovely presence at my Mother’s funeral.

Terry’s dry, wicked humour never failed to entertain or to lift a heavy moment. I’m so glad we knew each other.

Rest In Peace.

Una sentita ed affettuosa vicinanza in questo giorno così triste, a te carissima amica Susan e tutta la tua famiglia.

Deepest condolences to Richard, Elenor, Susan and extended families.
Terence was my first cousin whom I had the privilege of meeting last year.
My son and I were on a quick trip to Ireland and we didn’t have the correct phone number for Richard and Terence, so we just turned up, knocked on the door and introduced ourselves.
I’m so glad we did!
Terence was home and we shared a cup of tea in the sunshine of the front garden. We talked about our lives growing up and a lifetime of family connections. Terence came across as a warm, intelligent and hospitable man and I will forever cherish the memory of that afternoon with him.
May Terence rest in peace. From Richard, Esther, Hannah and Callum Cross.

Sincere condolences to all the family on the lose of your brother Terry. Thinking of you all at this very hard time. May he Rest in Peace xxx

Eleanor, Richard and Susan, heartfelt condolences to you all on the passing of your dear brother Terence. We’ve such fond memories of your mom and Terence and how fortunate we were to have them next door to us for many years. They were wonderful people and always so generous and welcoming to our children when they often broke in to the garden only to find Terence tending to the trees. He would warmly welcome them telling them to go ahead into the house as his mam had bought their (expected) biscuits! Such fond memories of the simple gestures left a lasting impression. Thinking of you all and may he rest in peace. All the Farrell’s (no. 58)

Condolences to all Terence's family and loved ones on his sad passing. A good & kind neighbour to us for many years in Haddington Square, Beggersbush.
May he rest in peace.

I was saddened to hear of Terence's sudden passing. My thoughts are with you Ritchie, Susan, Eleanor and also Julie. It was a lovely service today. I worked with Terence in IONA Technologies and at that time, in that setting, it was always Terence and never Terry. It was nice to hear the more familiar Terry, and to see his wide circle of friends today.

He shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.

Susan, we were so sorry to hear of Terence’s death last week. You & all the family are in our thoughts & prayers. May Terence rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the Cross family at this time. May Terence rest in peace.

Dear Susan, Richard & Eleanor.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the untimely passing of Terence.

We went through Holy Cross and St. Benildus together and I will always remember Terence as an extremely loyal friend. He was charismatic, witty, caring, and very bright - indeed Terence had the potential to be anything he wanted to be.

I am thinking of you all at this very sad time.

May Terence Rest In Peace.

Dear Susan, Richie and Eleanor,

Still coming to terms with this sad news.
It was a pleasure and a lot of fun growing up with Terry .
Bumped into him recently and we weren't long going down memory lane.
I'll always have the memories and they're great.

Rest in peace.

It is with a broke heart that I send this messsage, Heartfelt condolences to you all. You are in my thoughts, prayers as is Terry. What a tragedy.
Because of medical problems myself I am unable to attend the actual funerall but will be watching, and present as best I can.
I hope to visit the grave as soon as I am well enough. More Condolences

Cara Susan, condoglianze a te e alla tua famiglia per la perdita del vostro caro. Ma il dolore profondo di questi momenti sarà alleviato in futuro dai ricordi dei momenti belli vissuti insieme. Un forte abbraccio

To Richard, Eleanor and Susan, I want to be as close as I can in this hard moment. Terence hasn't been just a flatmate to me, but a real friend, one of those you meet rarely in life. We shared our daily life together for one year in Taney Road, and with kindness he always supported me, from the small things to the big ones. I still want to remember him preparing food in the kitchen, watching TV on the sofa, and telling me "Oh, hi, Piergiorgio!" in the corridor with his gentle smile. Thank you Terence, for all the things you did for me and for your your sincere friendship. I miss you already. RIP.

So so sad to hear of Terence's passing. We were so lucky to grow up on Taney Road together with all our friends. We have great memories of our childhood in and out of each others homes and gardens. We were so blessed. Have many fond memories of meeting Terry over the past few years. What a gentleman and so kind...so sorry to all his family. Kindest gentle soul....so amazing his caring for his mother. RIP x much love Eleanor, Susan and Richard

To Eleanor, John and the extended family and loved ones of Terry. We were so very sorry to hear of Terry’s tragic passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and that we wish that Terry’s very gentle soul is now resting in the peace that he deserves.

To Eleanor, John, Cian, Luke and Jodie and all the immediate and extended Cross families. Sincere heartfelt sympathy to you all on the sad and untimely death of Terence . May his soul Rest In Peace. Rose and Michael and all the Cahill family . Ballyglass.

Dear Susan, Richard, Eleanor and family, I want to picture Terence in the company of your mum and dad watching over you all, smiling and conjuring up a funny quip or highbrow comment. His wit and wisdom made him unique. For my part, I will always remember him as a gentle person and a gentle man. I know he will be hugely missed. With love, Helen, Claudio, Lorenzo and Stefano

Dear Susan, Eleonor, Richard and all of your families, we’re still stoned for the huge loss of Terence. Our deepest condolences from our hearts and souls. May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences on Terry's passing. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to Richard and family. I have the fondest memories of Terry and the many hours spent in the basement playing cards, ping pong, hanging out in town and the craic that Terry brought to us all. What a sweet, funny and lovely guy. Sincere Condolences.
Hugh

So sorry to hear about Terences passing. It was only a few months back we were chatting in Rome. May he rest in peace.

Terry was my neighbour on and off for decades on Haddington Road. I got to know him well over the years. Heartbreaking to hear the news. I used to love regularly chatting to him about the peculiar ways of the world. Such a gentle and decent man. I will truly miss him being around.

My sympathies Ritchie. I never took Terry up on his offer to play chess with either of you. I know I would have lost.

Deepest sympathy to all Terence’s family you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time
May Terrence rest in peace

Dear Susan,

Deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your brother. I am sure he will stay vibrant and present in your hearts and minds.
best wishes Trish

I remember so fondly the airport pick up with Terence and the secret giggles Susan, him trying to explain to us the various complicated theories which went way over our heads. He always made me smile, a gentle soul who will be hugely missed.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your dear Terence.
My thoughts are with him and with you all.
Wish he found now the serenity he deserved.
Rest in peace Terence.

Dear Susan, Eleanor and Ritchie,
Really saddened to hear of Terence’s untimely passing; I only have the fondest memories of his intelligent and dry sense of humor and the teenage pranks we all got up to in Taney. Terence was a total gent, not of this world in some ways. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Jane

Terry you'll will be dearly missed by all of our family, you were a one in a million human being, will always remember long nights of chats, laughs and board games in Roney. Safe Journey.

My dear Susan I am really sorry and near to you and your family in such a sad moment. May your dear brother Terence rest in peace. I send my heartfelt condolences to you all.
"Non so dove vanno le persone quando scompaiono, ma so dove restano…" (Antonie de Saint-Exupéry - Il piccolo principe) Ti abbraccio forte.

Elly, Susan and Richie,
No words can express the sadness you must be feeling now.
Terry was a kind, gentle, humorous, and pedantic person. No better chap for a long debate about the little things that he always believed he won. (He usually did )
He was liked by everyone and he never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be missed. Keep strong. Lots of love Annie and Greg

To Eleanor Susan and Richard

Terry Terry Terry you are going to be hugely missed by so many. Your smile, your funny questions and comments, your kindness and just simply just your company will truly be missed. Rest in peace Terry. We send our condolences to your family. Big hugs to Jules. XX

I am so very sad to hear the news of Terence’s death - far too young. On my daily walks around the roads I always loved if Terence was in the front garden - he would never just say hello - always come up to the wall and we would have a grand chat chat - he always had time for everyone. I have known the Cross family for a very very long time and are thinking of you all at this very difficult time. May he Rest in Peace

We are so saddened by the news of Terence's passing. He was a lovely neighbour. Our thoughts are with Richard and family at this difficult time.
