Dear Niamh
My sincere condolences on our father's death. You father and mother were very kind and welcoming to me when I was a poor student and I am thinking of you all at this sad time.

As children of the 70's, our Dad, Tommy Hardiman always spoke in glowing terms of Thomas (TP) and we really enjoyed your visits to Athlone.
Sincere condolences on your loss.

Dear Rosaleen and family. Please accept our most sincere sympathy on Tom's passing. He was a good friend in university and afterwards. Unfortunately we lost touch after I moved away from Dublin. He was always a gentleman.

To Rosaleen, Niamh, Enda, Orla, Ronan and Neasa - I send you my deepest sympathy. I have so many happy memories of Tom’s kindness towards me over the years - thinking of you all and sending love until we meet again, Hilary Fennell

To Niamh, Orla, Enda and families,
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He was a lovely man who played an important part in Ireland's development, for which he will be remembered. On a personal level, my parents always obviously so enjoyed his company; and he very generously gave me wise advice at several points in my early career. Please accept my deepest condolences,
Orna

My depest sympathies to the Hardiman Family of the passing of Tom. I first met Tom in the mid 1980's and had the great pleasure of working with him. I was a young UCD B.Comm graduate starting out on my business career. Tom was always ready to listen and give advice and much of this I still remember well. He was kind, wise and a great listener and I consider myself lucky to have worked with him. May he rest in peace.

A kind, warm and inspirational man whose encouragement and support at key times played a major role in helping individuals to express their entrepreneurial potential in many fields.
Condolences to his family.
May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to the family of Tom Hardiman

Condolence to Hardiman family

We are truly sorry to hear about Tom. Our sincere condolences to Rosaleen and the Hardiman family.
Among his numerous achievements is his very important contribution to the development of the Irish Institute for European Affairs in Louvain, Belgium (in the Irish Franciscan College, Louvain) as Chairman of the Board of the Institute.
One of our very fond memories is when he delivered the second Louvain Lecture in January 1983.

I would like to express condolences on behalf of the Board, staff and members of MDI to the Hardiman family during this sad time. May he rest in peace.

With deepest sympathy,

My sincere sympathy to Rosaleen and the entire Hardiman Family on Tom's passing.
May he rest in Peace..
This morning I followed the Mass on the Donnybrook Church Webcam.
It was indeed a beautiful Ceremony and fitting Tribute.

Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

Michael Caslin

Dear Rosaleen & Clann Hardiman,
All of us at Telegael are extremely grateful and privileged to have had Tom as our inspirational Chairman for 20 years.
Despite his many other commitments, Tom was always generous with his time and wisdom, always supportive and encouraging us to think globally while at the same time being appreciative of our Gaeltacht roots.
Ba fear uasal, cineálta, ildánach, spreagúil é Tom, a bhí flaithiúlach lena chuid eolais agus a chuid ama i gcónaí. Fear clainne a chuir go mór leis an Tír. Aireoidh muid uainn go mór é.

Dear Orla,
My sincere condolences to you and all your family on the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.

Tom was visiting Sydney around 1997 or 1998 and he asked me for an introduction to ADI who was an important new customer of ours at Timoney. I arranged a meeting with their president and Tom duly met with Ken Harris at Garden Island, a very impressive office also housing the largest dry dock in the Southern hemisphere. Subsequently, maybe a year later, I had lunch with Ken at the passenger terminal, overlooking the Harbour Bridge and Opera house. Ken mentioned his meeting with Tom and clearly was so impressed by Tom's grey matter that he spent some long time telling me how riveted he was by the insights Tom imparted during that meeting. A remarkable hard working and caring man who has enriched the world through example and the family he leaves to carry on his work. God Bless you all.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis

Rosaleen,
I have just finished following the Mass for Tom on the Donnybrook webcam. I suppose in normal times I might have not been able to even get into the church.

I learned an awful lot from Tom during our time together- not just about the job but also about people and life in general. In modern parlance he was my mentor. I believe his attitudes to life were based on basic Christian principles. When we were in the throes of staff difficulties in RTE he often reminded us that the staff we seemed to be fighting with were people with their own lives and problems- some of us were not always able to take the same Christian view!

I have very many memories of our time together - many of which came bubbling to the surface during the service.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for his repose- may he rest in peace.

Pat Doherty

Condolences to Niamh, Neasa, Tailte, Naoise and all the Hardiman family on the passing of Tom, who left an incredible legacy to his family, to DCU, and to the Irish state. May he rest in peace.

Deeply saddened by Tom's passing but comforted by memories of working together with him in the EU-Japan Business Dialogue. What energy, commitment, and loyalty! My condolences to Rosaleen and to the Hardiman family.

Rosaleen, sending our love and most sincere sympathies to you and your family on Tom’s passing. We were privileged to know him and have so many happy memories over the past 20+ years of friendship. He was an inspiration to us and always so thoughtful and generous in everything. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.

My deepest sympathies to all the Hardiman family.

Mr Hardiman is a good friend of ST Engineering and we in Singapore feel the loss greatly. Our Deepest Condolence.

My sincere sympathy and prayers to the wife and family of Dr. T.P. Hatdiman. He was an exemplary public servant, a man of great integrity and a mentor to many. He helped shape modern Irekand and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

Dear Rosaleen , please accept my sympathy on the passing of your beloved husband Tom . He will be greatly missed by you and your family and by all who knew him during his long and distinguished life .

Dear Orla, My deepest sympathy on your father’s death. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

To Rosaleen and family
Sincere condolences on your loss. Tom served for many years on the Board of Timoney Technology. Although he had commitments to much larger organisations, he gave unstinting support to the company which benefitted greatly from his wisdom. We used to regularly travel together to meetings in Navan and the hour long trip was always interesting. Conversation ranged widely from business to family to national and international economics and politics. We will miss him. May he rest in peace.

A Rosaleen, Is oth linn bas d’fhear ceile. Fear cneasta, eirimiuil ab ea e. Suaimhneas na bhFlaithneas do. Ide as an rang Ghaeilge as phairc.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Tom’s passing. We do have fond memories of him during our interaction at Timoney. Our thought and prayers are with you and your family.

Very Sorry and so Sad to hear of the Death of Mr. Hardiman He and his Wife are Two of My Friday Night Regulars at The National Concert Hall. A very Friendly Man and A true Gentleman. My sincere condolences to His Wife Rosaleen.

Dear Rosaleen, I join with you and your family in sadness at Tom's passing, RIP, but also in celebration of a wonderful live throughout which Tom gave so much to many organisation and assisted in greatly enhancing the quality of life of countless people. I remember Tom with great respect and affection. I knew Tom for almost 50 years, since the dawn of the 1970s when he visited Sligo while I was Director/Principal of Sligo RTC [Now IT Sligo], and our paths crossed again during my 14 years in CII, and afterwards. Indeed, Tom encouraged and supported me in a number of projects that I initiated in CII in areas that ranged from the environment, to the national roads infrastructure, to education, to the financial services industry, and many more... all of which are well recorded but perhaps largely forgotten! I will treasure my memory of our last meeting, unplanned, on the Prom at Sandymount near the Martello Tower on 5th August 2019. You had driven there, but Tom walked alone when I met him and he and I then walked and talked together for about 30 minutes. I can hear him speak to me as I type this note. Let us celebrate Tom's life and continue to learn from him.

Dear Rosaleen:
Our deepest sympathy in the passing of your beloved Tom. It was always a pleasure to meet with you both on our many visits to Ireland. Our family has lost
it's patriarch but he will be always in our memory and prayers. God Bless!
Joan & Tom Costello

Dear Orla,
My sincere condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your father. I hope that you can find some comfort as you cherish the many memories.

Mary and myself send our deepest sympathies on the death of Tom to Rosaleen and the family. At this moment , we recollect with fondness chatting with both of them over the past year on a number of occasions as they enjoyed lunch in the RDS.
In my career in IDA-Ireland , I had many dialogues with Tom , particularly when he was chairman of the National Board for Science & Technology , on understanding the emerging technologies of electronics , personal computers and software and positioning Ireland to be a serious participant. Later when IDA-Ireland expanded greatly its presence in Japan in the 1980s, there was a strong complementarity between Tom's championing of Irish Japan relationships and the IDA mission there . A culmination of this enhanced interest in Japan was the visit in 1989 of the Taoiseach Charles Haughey to Japan , the first Taoiseach in office to do so . Tom was fortunate to have Rosaleen at his side over so many years - they brilliantly complemented each other . A personal word of sympathy to Ronan who some 20 years ago joined with a number of us in founding what is today the Q 102 radio station .

To Rosaleen and family,
Deepest sympathy to you all on the death of your beloved Tom. Fond memories of visits to your home with Vivian many years ago.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

It was a great privilege to have known Tom. I found him gracious of manner and noble of spirit. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h'anam dílis.

To Rónán,Helen,Sam and Ali, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.Our sincere condolences to you all.

Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis

For Rosaleen and Tom's much-loved Family
During his term as President of The Marketing Institute I had the great privilege
of liaising with Tom on his attendance at functions etc and in some small way got to know this "legend" of a man who embodied the word "gentleman"
For a man who had such a distinguished career he had a wonderful gentleness about him ... always kind and warm in all our encounters
He gave of his time with huge generosity and his lovely gentle sense of humour was reflected in his gorgeous smile
As time passed my second cousin Jim married Rosaleen's niece Siobhan Breathnach and at that wedding the pride Tom had in his Family and the closeness of their
Family unit was a privilege
to witness
Ireland has lost.one of her greatest sons of whom we can all be so proud but today my thoughts and prayers are with Rosaleen and your wonderful Family whose loss is - I am certain - inindescribable
May the God Lord Bless and comfort you All in your huge loss and may Tom's beautiful gentle soul rest in peace.
We must believe that he is with The Lord - his just reward
God bless you All

Rosaleen,
Our deepest sympathy to you and family on the passing of Tom. He was a great friend, leader and mentor. May he Rest in Peace.

To Rosaleen and Tom’s entire extended family, my humble condolences.

I was privileged to serve with Tom on the Board of Timoney Holdings for many years. His quiet and dignified wisdom and unrivaled real-life experience was an inspiration.

The deep and wide scope of his business and public life in no way minimized his droll and occasionally wicked sense of humor.

Tom Hardiman made a monumental mark on Irish life, and he is already missed.

John M Mulcahy

Rosaleen and family
A truly inspirational gentleman, friend & listener
Thank you Uncle Tom for everything.
Pádraig, Mary, Ruth, David, Orla & family

Our deepest sympathies, we wish the circumstances allowed us to be present with you at this time. The one occasion I was lucky enough to meet Mr Hardiman he radiated huge pride in his family and huge warmth,. If our greatest achievement is our children he must have been the proudest man on earth. Orla you have done so much to support other people at this time and spare them distress, I will be thinking of you and your family over the coming weeks and months, With warmest wishes

Déanaimid comhbhrón libh in bhur mbris. Mór an trua nach féidir linn teacht le chéile go pearsanta ag an am seo ach seolaimid ár nguíthe chugaibh sa mheán seo.
