Terry O'MALLEY

Pat, my deepest sympathy to you and all the family on the death of Terry, RIP. I have very good memories of him while I was in Aravon. He introduced me to my first beautiful Rioja. You will be remembered in my prayers.

Dear Patricia, on behalf of all of us all at Sunnyside Medical Centre, and myself in particular, I would like to extend our sincere sympathy to you and all your family on their sad loss of Terry. We had the absolute privilege of getting to know both of you for such a a short period a few years ago and Terry was such a gentle person, and we were lucky to know him. Our apologies for the late notice, but unfortunately, I only found out recently of your sad loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May Terry Rest in the Peace that he has so richly earned

My deepest sympathies to all the O'Malley family. You were blessed with a true treasure of a human. Mr. O'Malley created such an incredible, inspiring and magical place of learning. No doubt he has left an indelible mark on every student who passed through the doors of Aravon. My fondest was at Christmas when he dressed up as Casper one of the wisemen and we unwound his turbin. Forever is our fondest memories.

Dear Mrs O’ Malley, I am hugely sad to hear of the death of Mr. O’ Malley. He made a huge impact on me in Aravon - going above and beyond to teach me GCSE science when I was only 9 but showed an interest, taking us to SAFE charity events and teaching us about the complexities of Afghanistan, even giving me a precious family violin and calling me into the office to receive a prized egg cup for being a good egg which I still have to this day. I loved being taught by him and I often think of the wisdom, kindness and knowledge you both shared so generously. I appreciate it immeasurably. With deepest sympathy for your huge loss,

Dear Patricia

Sincere sympathies to Patricia and the O'Malley family.

Terry was a man of many parts and many achievements. He was a man of character. He is very much missed.

Dear Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy and Jamie. Terry spent his life enriching, helping and guiding others, and seems to have thoroughly enjoyed himself doing it. And on top of this he had you as a wonderful family as well. I can think of no greater definition of a life well lived. He will be remembered fondly by many, for a long time. Take care.

Sincere condolences to Pat and family at this very sad and difficult time, may Terry Rest in Peace.

My sincerest condolences to the entire O’Malley family on the passing of Terry. I know how much he was loved and adored by all of you. Thinking of you all in the weeks and months ahead.

Deepest sympathy to Pat and Family on your sad loss.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire O’Malley family on the passing of Terry; a man who had such a profound and positive influence on so many. His distinctive voice carried weight, wisdom and thought whenever we met and talked, usually on a circuit of a cricket pitch. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the Kate, Colm, Sophie, Emma the O'Malley family. Thinking of you at this time.

So sorry to hear the sad news of Terry's passing. Thinking of you Pat and all the family at this time. Take comfort in the many memories and in a life well lived. Deepest sympathy to all of you.

Dear Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy and Jamie.

Deepest sympathy to you all at this very sad time.

I fondly remember Terry going back to the '80's when I became a school friend of Kate. I was always included in the O'Malley family. We shared many happy memories over the years and I have always admired Terry, Pat and their family.

Now I treasure those moments even more.

Terry rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Pat and your family on the sad passing of Terry. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to Jamie and Pat and the rest of the family
I had a lot of long chats to Terry on the side of the rugby and cricket pitches while he was watching Jamie play. He was a great supporter and very passionate and he was always proud of Jamie but a highlight was when his consistent line and length earned him a match winning hattrick in the junior cricket final
Our thoughts are with you all
God bless you

So sorry to hear the news of the passing of Terry. Thinking of all his family at this sad time.

Dear Patsy, so sorry to hear that Terry has passed on. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís. A bright star shone, and still shines. I only spent one year in Aravon School, but while Mr. O'Malley entered his final days, that time has come rushing back. I have many, many memories of Mr. O'Malley's generosity and care for all his pupils and the many many activities organised with love for each and evert individual pupil. Education was much more than simply a classroom, thank you.
Like any pupil might recieve from a great teacher, I am left this weeks with many thoughts about what he taught us, and, questions - questions for me now to find answers to in my own life.
I was priviledged to know one small part of Mr. O'Malley's life, so many other awe inspiring parts I'm left imagining.
With great, great thanks, and heartfelt condolences for the whole family,
Tim Harden

Thinking of you all Pat at this sad time. May Terry rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Terry's passing. Such happy memories of Terry ferrying Jamie and Alec from St Columbas to Shankill and various cricket venues. My prayers and thoughts are with you Pat, and with all the family.

Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy, Jamie and families. It is hard to say goodbye to someone so loved , sending my deepest sympathy at this time and the months ahead. xx Selina

To Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy and Jamie,

Sincere condolences on the passing of Terry. He will be sadly missed.

From my time in Meath Rd to finishing up in Old Conna, the Aravon experience ensured pupils flourished in further education due to the broad experiences on offer including arts, crafts, music, theatre, sport, and of course the sage advice from Mr O’Malley. RIP.

You are in our thoughts Pat at this sad time and send our sympathy to you and the family on Terry's passing

Dear Pat.
I was so sad to hear the news of Terry. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
I have always admired and respected all he did for my children in Aravon and his tireless work in Afghanistan.
God Bless you all.

We were so sorry to hear that Terry had died. We watched the wonderful funeral service this morning and so many happy memories came to mind. In retrospect you realize what a wonderful primary education the children received in your care. We all send our love to you and the family

Dear Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy and Jamie,
We were so sorry that we could not be with you in person at Terry’s farewell today but did join you all online.
For us as a family, the service was very special. With all our four children having attended Aravon, we felt very much a part of this extended family. Pat - you and Terry were central to the development of our family in their formative years and you both left a positive and permanent mark on each of them and indeed on us as parents.
Our condolences go to you all and we trust that you will be held up by the love and admiration in which Terry was held.
Blessings from

My deepest sympathy Pat on the loss of Terry and to your family. My thoughts go back to the day he pitched up at Kilkenny College in his Afghan dress. I was lucky to experience the event. It certainly gave the students a Global perspective!

Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy and Jamie, Terry was a great friend and neighbour to all of us in the Village next door. He will now in particular always be remembered whenever we toll the original yard bell, which was his parting gift to us from the vaults of Old Conna House when you left Aravon for the last time.He wanted it back in its rightful historic place. A kind gesture which was the measure of the man. My condolences to you all, and I'm sorry that I can't be there to pay my respects. RIP Terry.

A Great Irishman, a Fantastic Uncle, will miss you. Richard, Christian, & Andrew.

Dear Patsie

Thinking about you, Kate, Clare, Lucy and Jamie today and sending my love.

Dear Pat, Claire, Lucy and all the family. Sincere condolences on the passing of Terry. Thinking of you at this sad time and in the months ahead.

Pat, Jamie and all the family,

My sincere condolences on the passing of Terry. My years in Aravon were among the most formative and enjoyable of my life, in large part due to the energy, leadership and kindness of Terry. He created an incredible ethos and atmosphere in the school and I relished every moment I spent there.

His interactive science lessons and his driving us to hockey matches with everybody singing in the back of the van are some memories that particularly stand out for me.

A phenomenal educator, role model and man who will be sorely missed

RIP Terry

Dear Pat,
Sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to you and all your family from Jane and Brian, John, Gerald and Louise. Great memories of happy days spent at Aravon School and continuing friendship afterwards. Thank you Pat and Terry may he rest in peace.

Sincere Sympathy Pat and Family on the passing of Terry. May he Rest in Peace

Sincerest condolences on your loss. Thinking of you all in these sad times. X

Sincere. Sympathy on the. death of. Terry. May he rest in Peace.

Pat, Kate, Clare, Lucy, Jamie and all the family.

Terry was such an important person to me, he was my headmaster and so much more. He said that I could do anything that I set my mind to, but more than that, he truly believed that I could. I was privileged that he chose me as Head Boy, as were so many Head Boys & Girls before and after me. He was strict, but fair, I had a few near misses with flying chalk… Only the lucky ones got to know Terry outside school, and I was one of those, treated as one of the family, mostly when my dad forgot to collect me from school! But also because my “other sister” Clare was always there for me and Trina, like part of the family. An incredible headmaster, man, father and friend. Terry RIP…

Deepest sympathy to Pat and family on the sad passing of Terry. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Dearest Pat, Kate,Clare,Lucy and Jamie. My deepest sympathy to you all on the passing of Terry. He was an inspiration and a father like figure to me growing up in Aravon as a boarder in the 80's. His love of life,cricket,hockey,woodturning and hot sauces were my fondest memories growing up in Aravon. Waking us up early in the mornings to break the ice in the swimming pool, these memories are so close to my heart. What a wonderful family you all are, and I pray for you all. Thinking of you at this tough time. R.I.P Terry ❤

I am very saddened and sorry to hear of Terry's passing. Such fond memories from Aravon, him being an integral part of them - wood turning, science, cricket...all his passions, how lucky to experience them in primary school! And the school bus every morning from Bray dart Station, with him at the wheel.

Condolences to all the family. Rest in peace Mr. O'Malley x

Deepest sympathies to the Malley family on Terry's passing.
You can be proud of the legacy of good works that he left behind.
May he rest in peace.

Thinking of you all at this very sad time

I was so sad to hear of Terry’s passing. My two daughters and my son attended Aravon and I got to know Terry a little bit during that time. I loved and admired his commitment to Aravon school and also to the people of Afghanistan. I learnt all I know about land mines from Terry! One of the differences between Terry and most people is that he saw an issue and did something about it. Sadly, most of us don’t put ourselves out. Terry did. My condolences to Pat and the O’Malley family.

To Pat and all of Terry's family, we are so very sorry to hear of the death of Terry, a very brave and most interesting man and educator, from enthusiastic science teaching through telling us about Afghanistan's history, to setting up SAFE for the people there.
