I am so sorry for the loss of a estimated member of the University.

Requiescat In Pace,

I am saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I knew him when I was a student in Kevin Street, and afterwards as a colleague. A great lecturer and a lovely man to talk to. My condolences to his family.

My sincere sympathies to all of Toms family.
I was privileged to have Tom lecture to me when I was a Physics student in UCD. Years later I joined DIT, Kevin St where Tom was a colleague, and with whom I enjoyed some golf courtesy of the Kevin St Golf society.
Tom was one of those people who left a lasting impression on you, he was the best lecturer I encountered. He was humorous and a good colleague.
Tom was one of life`s true gentlemen. RIP

Deepest sympathies and condolences on the recent passing of Thomas. May he Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear about Tom's passing. A lovely neighbour and a great lecturer. Tom had a lovely sense of humour. He was also very generous with his time in trying to help me with maths physics.

I was very sorry to hear of Tom's death. He was a marvellous Maths lecturer and I was one of the many people who benefitted in 1972/73, doing Engineering in Kevin St. His was a wonderful presence as a colleague in later years and it was a great pleasure to meet him at all times. My deep sympathy to his family.

Sincere sympathy to Maisie and family on the sad passing of Tom.
It was always a pleasure to meet him on his annual holiday in Ballybunion. A truly lovely man with the warmest personality and wonderful sense of humour. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

Sincere condolences to Maisie and all the family on the death of Tom. So very fondly remembered as lifelong friends of my late mother, Mary, and my father Brendan and the many happy getogethers they shared. May Tom rest in peace.

Dear Maisie,
We were greatly saddened to learn of the death of your beloved husband Tom. He was a true friend, a great President of Milltown GC and above all a wonderful teacher. When attending University two of our sons Shane & Paul had grinds with Tom, and thanks to him they are enjoying successful careers. He will always be fondly remembered and appreciated by the Mulcahy family. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

Much Love,

Paul & Mary

Our sincere condolences to Maisie, Paula, John, Eamonn and Brona and the wider Ambrose families on Tom's passing. Hoping that you can all celebrate a life that was well lived by gentleman. Rest in Peace.

Michael, Chris and Family, Milltown Bridge Road.

Our sincere condolences to you all on the passing of Tom, may he rest in peace.

Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to Maisie and all Tom's family on his passing. He was our excellent maths physics/applied maths lecturer in first year engineering in UCD in 1969-70; he also stood out among all our lecturers that year as someone who conversationally and with good eye-contact, engaged effectively with the large class of over 170 often giddy and rowdyish students, and with that same eye-contact always remained impressively in-charge, in control of the class. I will pray for him, and for you -all his family- at this tough time. May he rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to Maisie and family I have happy memories of working with Tom in Kevin Street and of meeting him in UCd He was a true gentleman and a scholar

So sad to hear Tom has died. My condolences to all his family. I remember them all well in the Kevin Street days. I have so many great memories of Tom in the College and in Delgany golf club and also Milltown. A very great thinker, very influencial and great fun. May he rest in peace.

A brilliant mathematician, lecturer and mentor who gave so much unselfishly to everyone under his care.

My sincerest sympathy to all the family on such a sad loss. I have only good memories of him when visiting the house during my school years. May he rest in peace.

We wish to express our sincere condolences to Mrs Ambrose and family on the passing of Tom. We knew him for a long time, he was a true gentleman. May he Rest in Peace.

My condolences, as a former student of Tom (Maths), DIT (1960-1962), and later as a fellow lecturer and friend in the same college, (1968-79), to his wife, to his adult children, grandchildren, and family. How fortunate we all were to know this man, and you, as spouse, as a father and as a grandfather. Although Tom and I haven't met since the days of Christmas staff reunion dinners, I have an abiding memory of him.

My sincerest sympathy to Maisie and the Ambrose family. Tom was a wonderful member of the Maths/ Physics department and very welcoming when we arrived in 1974. He was a great lecturer to the sometimes unruly engineers including the new President of U C D.
Sadly I was unaware of his death and so missed his funeral. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Masie and family on Tom's sad passing. Always enjoyed his friendly greetings after Mass in Milltown. May He Rest in Peace

I am so sorry to hear about Tom's death. He taught me in UCD and was wonderful. He was the only lecturer i know to write his phone number on the board in case any student needed to ask a question the night before an exam. So kind as well as a great lecturer.

To share in the condolences to the late Tom’s wife and family and to recall Tom as a wonderful teacher of Maths Physics “back in the day “ and always decency personified ... ..May Tom now rest in peace RIP

A Lecturer without equal. I'll always remember him coming into Class, armed with just a set of markers for the Overhead Projector and a set of past Exam Papers and giving us a wonderfully coherent set of notes. Amazing. My condolences to his Wife, Family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Tom’s passing - deepest sympathies to Maisie and all the family. A lovely man, it was a privilege to have known him.

Sincere sympathy to all the Ambrose family on the death of Tom. He was a kind man with a lovely sense of humour. He gave generously of his time and talents to CCR. May his gentle soul rest ln peace wth all the deceased he loved.

We were very sorry to learn of Tom’s death and extend our condolences to
Maisie, Paula, Brona, John, Eamonn, and extended family. We were teenagers when we met Tom and Maisie in John and Moyra Walsh’s house in Merton Road. The welcome and interest in us that we consistently received from Tom and indeed Maisie wrapped always in such good humour left an indelible mark on both of us. He was the definition a good outward looking Irishman with a sparkling sense of humour always there for his friends in both good and challenging times. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy Maisie and to all the family on the death of Tom who was a loved friend. We will always remember him. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all the Ambrose family.
Tom is remembered as a loyal and much loved past student and Chairman of our Board of Governors.
Mass will be offered for the repose of Tom’s soul at Mount St. Joseph Abbey Roscrea.
Requiescat in pace.

Sincere condolences
I fondly remember Tom lecturing Maths/physics in UCD. Simplifying, gently explaining then dazzling. Met him years later in Kevin Street..a lovely humorous and humble man.

On behalf of all the Minch family I offer our sincere condolences to you Maisie and family.

Tom was a wonderful warm kind and generous person and we were all the better for having known him. My children will never forget the terrific maths grinds they got from him. He had an amazing way of making a difficult subject enjoyable which they always commented upon.

For Marianne and myself, we got to know Tom over the years as a Milltown members. His wisdom, humour and friendliness to all of us marked him out and these characteristics served him well in his years as President of the Club in which role he was outstanding. he will be sorely missed.

May he rest in peace
