Dear Clare, My deepest condolences on Tom's premature passing. He was a gentleman of whom I have many very find memories.
Take care.

So sorry to hear of Tom's death. I was a pupil in Colaiste an Spioraid Naoimh, in Cork, where Tom taught English. He was lovely gentle man
and also also a great teacher. I used to meet him sometimes in Cork on a Saturday morning, and he'd always stop for a chat and a catchup. May he rest in peace. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

I am deeply sad to hear of Tom's passing. Tom was my external examiner at my viva and one of the finest and most gentle men I've met in the world of academe. He was a historian of high calibre with original and deep thinking and a great source of inspiration to me.

A visit to New Ross always included a visit to the Dunne family in their shop in South Street. Art and my mother’s cousin Johanna together with all the “Dunne” clan made my brothers and I feel special and very welcome.

Our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues of Professor Tom Dunne. His loss is felt keenly by the NUI community, as he served on our Senate from 1998-2007, and also edited the NUI 1908-2008 Centenary Essays publication. His contribution to UCC, NUI and all who knew or worked with him was immense. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal.

Sincere condolences to Clare and the family on your sad loss. Tom was a stalwart pillar of the discipline of History and of the wider intellectual culture.

I was very saddened to hear that Tom had passed away. He was a warm and supportive colleague for many years. A good friend to many of us, he was a learned and witty conversationalist. His contributions to scholarship and to Irish public life will long be remembered. My deepest sympathies to Clare and to their wider family.

I watched the service today and I shed tears. Some for the Uncle Tom I knew, and many for the Uncle Tom I never got to know well enough. I am grateful for being able to hear everyone speak about him, and only wish I could have been there. I hope that a grandchild of mine decides to call me “Happy”. That would be grand.

Love to you all from Texas.

Mark, Daneye, Liam and Isabel

Tom Dunne was my supervisor, and a good one. He always treated me with care and courtesy, and was meticulous in his comments. His range of interests was stimulating, and he knew how to ask questions. I didn't hear of his death until this evening, or I would have made a point of going to the funeral. Condolences to all his family. Memory eternal!

Sincere condolences to all the family of Emeritus Professor Tom. May he rest in peace!

With sincere sympathies.

My friendship with Tom goes back to the early 1970s, though we met only intermittently down through the years.
Tom had a fine mind and independent judgement. And he managed to combine a stubborn intellectual curiosity with an innate courtesy and warm good humour.

Such a brusque and deep loss! Amidst the shock and our grieving condolence for Clare, Oisín and Fergus in their bereavement, comes a welter of memories: Tom’s sharp intellect, his impish wit, his learning (so wide, so lightly worn), his humaneness, his friendship. What a man to leave such memories; they will outlast the shock and the loss.

My condolences to Mr Dunne's wife and family. I was a student of his in Colaiste Spioraid Naoimh. When he entered the classroom there was instant silence, not a silence of fear but a silence in case we wasted one second of his time with us. He installed in me a lifelong interest in history and reading. I never forgot his influence on me.

Clare, I was so saddened to hear that Tom had passed. Sincere condolences to you and all the family.

My sincere sympathy to Clare and family on Tom’s passing. I heard him speak at the recent CUP centenary event & it was a pleasure to hear him. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to here this news. My sincerest sympathies to all of Tom's family. He was an inspirational and generous teacher. He inspired me to think more deeply about culture and representation. I will miss him.

Sincerest sympathies to Clare and all the family. Tom has parted company with you and his many friends and colleagues all too soon. Our one consolation is that he has left a powerful legacy as a historian, memorialist and as an interpreter and historian of Irish art. You have all reason to be proud of him, even as you mourn his passing.

Our deepest sympathies go out to all the Dunne family on their great loss. A true gentleman in every way. R.I.P. Tom

Deirdre, I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Dad's passing. I know how much you adored him. My deepest condolences to you and all your family. Thinking of you all at this sad time xx
