Thomas Russell

Comhbhrón ó chroí to Tom's family and many friends at this sad time. I remember Tom through the North Tipperary VEC Cultural Activities Committee. Tom was a learned and meticulous quiz master who turned general knowledge into an engaging art form. He was also an accomplished adjudicator of debates. His keen intellect and fairness shone through, earning the respect of participants and audiences alike.

Deepest sympathies to Pat, Sr Josephine and Sr Etna on the sad passing of Tom. He was the first teacher I encountered at my enrollment in Gairm Mhuire technical school in 1971 he was most impressive and a true gentleman, and a joy to listen to, may his gentle soul rest in peace.

My sincere sympathy to Tom's family and friends. I was so sad to hear of Tom's death. I knew him through Toastmasters, an organisation about which he was so passionate. A very kind and friendly fellow 'Toastie'. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Pat, Sr. Evelyn, Sr. Josephine and the extended Russell family on the sad loss of Thomas, RIP. He was a true gentleman with a deep faith who combined integrity, generosity of spirit, a razor sharp intellect and marvellous wit in a calm, unassuming demeanour making it a pleasure to be in his company at anytime.

I would like to acknowledge his great support for the school and community over the years through his masterful work as quizmaster. You left every quiz with a smile and some new nuggets of information which Thomas so skillfully included in his presentation. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal dílis.

What a shock to learn last night that Tom had died on 8 November. He was a dear friend and ex-colleague (from "Africa" days) of my late husband, Denis.

Tom and Denis had many hill-walking sessions in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. I last met Tom a month ago when he traveled from Tipperary to Wicklow for Denis's funeral (25/26 October), just thirteen days before his own death.

My deepest sympathy to his sisters, Sr. Josephine and Sr. Evelyn, his brother Pat and extended family. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace and happiness.

I first met Tom at Matero Boys Secondary School in Lusaka.We have many happy hours both in Zambia and subsequently in Ireland and in the UK particularly in The Lakes.Along with Denis and Pete we spent many happy times on the hills and in our pubs sampling real ale.RIP Tom

God bless Tom. He was a great gentleman: a welcoming host, a dear friend of my father's and a very polite and affable man. At dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Pat, I was so sorry to hear of the death of your brother Tom. We met regularly at quizzes, hillwalking and Toastmasters over many years.

Deepest condolences to Tom's family on your great loss. He was involved in so many clubs and societies and no doubt contributed greatly to them. He was a great friend to Clonmel Toastmasters and we were always delighted to see him. A minute's silence was observed by the five clubs in Area 8 at a recent contest where Tom was due to take part. He will be sorely missed. Mick White, secretary, Clonmel Toastmasters
